RockST*R

finished finally.

I want to be a rockstar

I wanna drive a fast car

Speeding down the boulevard

Breaking hearts through lines of cocaine

I want to be a superstar

Ill be dancing in the bars

Im earning my scars

Break through the glitter and the fame

Im gonna be everything I ever wanted

A preacher's daughter's most sordid dream

Nothing is ever gonna stop me

Im sick of living vicariously

Im gonna be a rockstar

Ill be driving fast cars

Strutting down some boulevard

Breaking hearts through lines of cocaine

Im gonna be a superstar

I know Im going far

Ive been earning my scars

breaking through the glitter and the fame

I want celebrity

Ill get all my drinks for free

Ill be your wildest dream

Everybody's eyes on me

Im gonna be everything I ever wanted

A preachers daughter's most sordid dream

Nothing is ever gonna stop me

Im sick of living vicariously

This is a subtly ironic satire on the fame-game, that's how it clearly comes across to me... The temptation of selling yourself out just to escape the ordinariness of so-called normal life... And then you are no longer human..
"Im earning my scars
Break on through the glitter and the fame"
...These lines stood out for me most prominently as the epitome of what this poem stands for (or against) ...taking the scars as a payment for all you can gain..
The sentiment of this piece is very strong and very relevant to today's culture..I think what's neat and powerful about it is the double-edge it has, in the sense that anyone who desires all these soul-less, material, superficial and vain things would actually see these words as a positive affirmation of all that they desire in life..
A well-written and caustic piece of poetry, and expressive in almost a rock n roll style and structure and use of words. Good work.

Ha :) I love the way your own personal style of writing breaks through to the surface.
I find it amusing and quite interesting.

Hm... i follow your point as the lust for fame but so that you don't step on Niclel Backs toes... You can go with something like "Eyes set to claim" but thats my thought yours will always stand much more consise. As far as the poem... love the repeat

"Im gonna be everything i ever wanted
A preachers daughter's most sordid dream
Nothing is ever gonna stop me
Im sick of living vicariously"
but rock stars do live oh so vicarious when lust for furtune takes hold.
Good stuff ... keep it up.

It shows how the you want to leave your life for the life you have always wanted brilliant write.

F**k the Coke deal. Been there done that bit-o Hell. Just to let ya know, hey it is cool work an I'll be back fer a better review from Romon in Review when timing is better. Stay away from Blow... it is for operating rooms not what Satan is doing with it. As this is mentioned here in your poem I don't mind all that come here to read this...

I was a Rock Star, it almost kill me, know I'm a writer / musician...

If you ever can't live with out crack... please, WRITE ME!
