Gassed

 If fame was a person.

why do I find
myself screaming after her?
Is it because, her
fatal attraction is the vice to lure me in?

I was happy
scribbling my thoughts
Yet! She saw
potential, she wanted to herself
so onto the world
she propped me up
only to leave me midair.

She told me to be
cool
doing what the cool
do
smoking, drinking
and partying
but she forgot to
tell
these to be a
highway to hell
now I lay imperiled
on floor of the bathroom.

while dreaming of
the stars, she made me to hold
not bothered of the
set, she threw me in
Violence, the back
door she widely opened
I was her slave
finally
widely praised, for
the glory that wasn’t mine.

She already had six
feet imprinted on me
I mean! She dug a
hollow, to swallow my being
she was my friend
so I thought
neglecting, the
lesson she had with my previous heroes
I fell for her trap.

Now a shell, of my
former self
But still she was
unrelenting
gassing on my life
with her venom
yet string me to
the crocodiles
Now I’m where she
always wanted me
regret filled.

I know one day,
they will be light
I will be surely
free once again.
