being popular

popularity is changeable
just a few rules to be followed,
being popular, being a public figure:
doesn't mean
everybody will know about you.
it will be a sensation for a few days,
then forgotten by the people,
being popular for a few days is quite fun,
but being forgotten pains a lot,
few will remember their existence
cause only a few people
know their real lives
when we stand on stage they will remember us for a few days
they will remember
how our performance was,
but they will never know
what pain it takes to stand there.
the stage looks beautiful
but it is actually
walking in the broken glass
without any sandals
after coming down it will pain a lot.
