It is only when I am at the top that I see me at my worst,
     I am crawling and writing, pleasures without any worth.
I drift by without care, never leaving an imprint of remembrance
     but a storm always follows with rains of violent vengeance.
I used to want nothing more than the luminescence of fame,
     a dream of celluloid and flashbulbs and publicised shame.
Now I hide myself away, behind hats and curtains and falsities
     so that instead of loving me, they can love my idealised dreams.
