Unto the Breach

frustration seeps in,

/sexydirtysuperstardom/

when the mind wanders to parallel dreams, unfulfilled lives

I - I could be the one you hum with

/drugsdrawyouinwards/

as you work, or rush to share on your feeds

fame is insanity, as close to infamy

/rockbottomneverfar/

as it is distracting and all in between

but recognition, held in regard,

/rolloutthebloodcarpet/

vaunted about and generally seen as good

in your chosen field, must feel

/celebritydisintigraty/

like a warm blanket on a cold blue day

to some greater or lesser extent,

/cultleadertruthreaper/

we act, masked, even when we try not to

we push forward the faux reality,

/quowreckersoulseller/

perceived visage of our internality

stand statuesque singled out as yet

dripping our life force for the

\achievementdevolution\

another cog in the never dying machine

"Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more"*
