When the Limelight Sucks

When the Limelight Sucks

 

I think perhaps if

I had to

make the choice,

I would

 

much rather be,

a sparrow

than a swallow,

or indeed

a swift, since I just

can’t take

the limelight or

the highlife any more

The limelight is attractive to some, particularly the young, because they mistake it for love. Of course, when the world gets tired of you, it moves on, and if you're hooked on the limelight, you have to struggle to keep it. That's why so many celebrities end up in rehab.

sadly all too true ..

[JessyJacob]

not true,, whom curing for the rehab they had to head too, man what you are saying you forgot everything what i did for you now speaking rehabbbbb

[Neville]

perhaps its me, but I don't understand ..

It's not you, N. It's medication non-compliance.

[JessyJacob]

You don’t need anything.

Meds doesn’t cure anything esp like allopathy. Homeowner or Ayur can cure with yoga. Everyone needs yoga to cure stress. I feel you are doing natural exercises or run that will make you better than with meds. So you don’t need meds just run at 5 am sleep at 11pm. Take food.

Me too Neville. I don't like limelight on my face. I became like Salinger. I do need to seek publishing before I forget how to write. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

The limelight invariably does suck if you don’t crave it Neville, and not everyone does. I was focusing on our avian friends here in your poem. The swallow and swift are most beautiful in flight, but the sparrow has the sweetest song. Sad the sparrow seems to have declined in numbers. I love how you introduce our avian friends into some of your poems. A thought provoking little write.
