"Spotlight"..pt. 1

To be set apart in this world

you get the shiny, sparkly, shimmering lights.

You are a star in the night sky...

Seen and admired "dearly"

but, just for a time.

A next shooting star has come,

and your show is stolen, murdered...it's destroyed.

Applause has ceased.

What's left of your roses is thorns..

that scorch your feet the more you walk across the stage,

Barely keeping open your fading smile.

Do you now see?

Have you learnt beloved?

The world's spotlight only lasts for a while.
