Be a star

Join the club and be a star
Easy fame easy money
Only skill, play the guitar
Live the dream, sweet as honey

Girls around scream for you
You are high as a plane
You feel special, like few do
Plenty around now to blame

And then at home, you with you
You feel lonely, like few do
Who to speak to and who to hear
Friends are hidden, like your fear

And then at home, you with you
You feel lonely, like few do
Who to speak to and who to hear
Friends are hidden, like your fear

Sun again into the sky
You feel better once again
Fans around keep you high
Autographs, just hold you pen

Rotten nose on you face
Are you happy? Are you calm?
Life is short, love’s the case
You’ll never wake with this alarm
 
And then at home, you with you
You feel lonely, like few do
Who to speak to and who to hear
Friends are hidden, like your fear

Is this life what you chose?
One man finds you, overdose
High again, fire your guns
You with you, change of plans

It seems you are the psychologist of this café…
You have that ability to read what is behind the motivation to write …..
And what you said is very much true…
In my case…
Anyway….
I liked your choice of words and their arrangements…
The line …
Friends are hidden like your fear….
Carries a lot of meaning….

"And then at home, you with you

That's brilliant! ^^

Enjoyable read! Everyone does want to be a star these days!!

O to be able to wield that guitar. O for that stage. Yes, it is worth it for that moment. Provided you do your own lyrics of course! Enjoyed your poem as it aroused the dream.

Great thoughts I have had these same thoughts myself.... and must say although I resigned myself from such "Great Heights" I must admit that twas better to love than never loved at all and if you go big you may as well burn the candle bright as you can for as long as you can. when you are done hopefully the candle-maker will wrap you in wax again... Love this poem I picked it at random and this is good work good themes and repetition. Way to be forthright with light imagery

Add more allusion and metaphor and you'd be batting 1000!

A sad poem. It is sad how many famous people fall to early death with great talent. I like the flow of thoughts and the strong ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

What a glimpse into the world of fame... something far too many go in search of... There is that glitter on the outside, and the loneliness the lives on the inside... Those lines of yours are haunting and poignant... Powerful lyric indeed.

If this is what it takes to be famous... I don't want it, great composition :)

[Sean Allen]

Just the right length!

This is more like a lyric or maybe because I'm listening to Bleed by Hot Chelle Rae..hmmm. Haha. But other than that it was a good poem. I just didn't get the repetition of that third stanza throughout the poem. Maybe you could explain it to me? Other than that minor problem, I really did love the whole idea of this piece and I love the "You with you." I don't know why but those phrases just resounded in me, it made the whole poem more meaningful, more personal on a certain level. It was great, Keep writing even if you do think you don't have a knack for it!
