FAME

Stripped down to the bones,

flesh to flesh felt to dust.

Both palms across my holy, hiding, covering from the world that I fought so hard to look.

To the top of my lungs I scream;

take it back,

take it back.

Greeted with laughter and pointed fingers, I gave in.

The thought of acceptance finally crossed the checkered line.

A guess this is the life.

The dream that was fought for, climbing the hills of degeneracy,

to finally reach so close to the sky and touch one of the many stars that illuminated over me. And now,,, what can I say,

I guess this is it.
