Resentments and Contempts

These resentments and contempts
have been fueled by your guilt
You can't blame the wall on others
you know that it was self-built.

Not being able to reconcile
with yourself what was earned
You dress guilt by association
within those bridges you've burned.

Not able to justify your accomplishments
as being anything noteworthy and real
You attack those minions who've deemed
to you this shroud of mock-appeal.

Maybe you feel like a liar and cheat
on what was offered to the public
So you tell them they are wrong
it's your way of being apologetic.

Some are able to strip away lies
to present their version of reality
Others wear the same old clothes
to soften their position as a fatality.

To be true to yourself and able
to be a martyr for the minions
Is to not become the myth they
project with grandiose opinions.

The wheel of stardom is not invulnerable
weak spots are within the lyrics
Just as the truth about life
is confined within the fables of spirits.
