The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

A million lines that write my lifetime
I don't have a say
Ridiculous and yet just sublime
Make them go away.

I wished for all that money bought
Hell is now my home
It wasn't quite what I had thought
"Oh please leave me alone!"

The flashing lights a camera click
The shouts of "look and smile!"
From people who just make me sick
And chase my every mile.

No God can save my mortal soul
I have nowhere to hide
For fame is just the blackest hole
That eats you from inside.

"Be careful what you wish for now"
Are words that echo so,
"I have what I want... oh and how"
...tho yearn to let it go.

A crying heart sheds tears unseen,
A smile can lie to all,
But face won't lie where you have been
Such fame won't suit you all.

Be brave and stop this gravy train
The likes from which you're fed
For scores who courted wealth and fame
Soon count amongst the dead.
