I wannabe famous
I don’t know what for
I’m not good at much,
Just know I want more.
Know I can’t act
Know I can’t sing
I’ve really no talent
I just want some bling.
Want a car by Ferrari
A suit by Versace
To be seen at a premiere
Or an after show party.
I’ll streak at the rugby
To get on TV
My body’s not perfect
But I will be seen.
I’ll ‘out’ you on Facebook
I’ll block you on Twitter
Won’t play by the rules
I’ll gossip, I’ll titter.
I’ll climb into bed
With an ‘A’ list celeb
Sell my tale to the tabloids
– No avoiding my web
I’ll shaft my own sibling
To get a new ‘friend’
Don’t care who I hurt
It’s a means to an end.
I’m a girl on a mission
I don’t give a damn
Who cares who I hurt
So you know who I am.
wow, so true the writing and such talent the writer. The world is full of wannabes that are not willing to pay their dues but want to just jump to the rewards. I enjoyed reading this, will post to face book
Thank you so much Chef william! I gather from Anita-Clare that you were immensely complementary about my description of a hangover too! Thank you so much! *blush*
Isn’t it a comment on our society that values celebrity over substance? This reminds me of the line in “An American Band”: “these fine ladies had a plan. They were going to meet the boys in the band. They said, ‘Cmon, dudes, let’s get it on.’ And we proceded to tear that hotel down.”
Yeah! I’m afraid so! Thanks for reading!
Thanks for liking the poem…oh what keeps us up in the early hours of the morning!
I really do like your poem. I feel this way about so many reality stars and all these young women completely degrading themselves for a small window of fame. It’s sad when you think about it.
Thanks so much! I know! It infuriates me when these kids say, “I WANNABE FAMOUS” but have no idea what for…
Very nice Poem, I like it! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Audrey!
While I’m not will to shaft a sibling for this, I do want to be famous enough for my book to be a clue on Jeopardy! I want it sooooooo badly 🙂 Great poem.
Thanks Caim! Me secretly too!
