my words inspired by this picture by @koruswhispers posted for #pl_openmic @poetryloving
it is all over
the glory and the fame
on top of that Olympic mountain
where I burned like a titan flame
fueled by money and caresses
the ooohhs the aaahhs and the awe
and sprayed the magnums of victory champaign
no more breaking of the news
claiming the paper's headlines' ink
provoking your and everyman's views
it's over the time of confidently ignoring
all those crystal clear cues
since I stepped down those golden stairs
walking into nameless no one's land
none of my life seems of their affairs
I am fighting the cancer of oblivion
that will leave me completely without heirs
