Rock Star Poem by Michael Gale

With a song in my heart, as I step out on
stage, Intending to sing a verse revealing
my rage! A rock musician, I may seem,
Lonely yearning great wealth is my only
dream! Without fans to express my feeling,
Of life's let-downs I find hard in dealing!
Energy in vocals is my only escape,
As dealing with reality is my sorrowful
fate! When I can no longer deal with life's
sorrow, I get depressed and find no more
tomorrow! Drugs seem to follow me, at every
turn, Peace and tranquility I desperately
yearn! Cocaine soars me, to a new high
living, I guess I should be happy, that to
fans, that I am giving! Thine darkness be
closing in and all about me, When awakened,
my soul shall be ever so set free!
Meeting my maker forever, with all of
eternity!
