    The limelight
    The hubbub of attention
    The chance to appear on screen

    To have the time of your life
    Singing, dancing, acting
    To do anything you please

    To have the crowds 'ooh' and 'ahh'
    To have the envy of the men and women
    To take their breath taken away

    From a mere tap, or a single touch
    You can bedazzle anyone
    With your looks or voice

    You're a sparkling star
    A radiant beam of light
    Like a bright, golden ring

    But when the sparkle's gone
    And show and tell is done
    You're already forgotten

    You're washed away
    Like a speck of dust
    With only a faint trace left behind

    So don't be sad
    Don't be upset
    Don't dare crave the limelight

    Because in the end,
    You'll just turn out
    Like those specks of dust

    A poem about celebrities, who in the end, are often forgotten. Ironically, this was all inspired when I thought of the line 'hubbub of attention'. lol

    That was awesome! 5/5 Ultima Weapons. Makes me wish I could write stuff like that. Maybe then I wouldn't be failing English...xD

    Thanks so much! :) And well, just because you're good a poetry, doesn't exactly mean you're good at English...I don't do so well on my tests. :sweatdrop: And I'm sure if you tried writing a piece of poetry, you'd do great!! Perhaps you'd like to give it a try one of these days?

    Nice! I just got to be amazed... You are so good at poetry... I'm only good at writing songs for already made melody... (I did 4 blues with my pal...)
    And writing stories... (Story about Roxas is on it's way)
