Gone Too Far

He left his country and went to a foreign land With a dream of being an actor and some money in his hand No helping hand no one to understand His true potential and the scope of his plan Saw an artist in himself despite what family told To perform on the biggest stage was his goal Faced many auditions hoping to land a role Luck was on his side, he soon got the call But it wasn't the best start his debut was a flop He couldn't do a lot with the role that he got But failures couldn't stop his journey to the top Kept working off the clock many movies were shot But he felt like he was getting trapped in a box Playing the same role in slightly different plots It was a disturbing progression he wanted to stop To avoid getting stuck in the same spot Kept acting with his heart dedicated from the start Had deep passion for the art and he soon became a star With his final act he raised the bar It was too late when he realized he'd gone too far His talents were overlooked only known for his looks He started delving deeply and reading many books Learned from the mentors and lessons that he took And emerged to the scene with a new outlook Searched for a unique project didn't care about the pay Renowned director approached him one day With a mastermind script that took his breath away Proposed the role of the villain for him to portray He said, "You are talented, I first saw you in a play Then met your directors listened all they had to say Hope you'll work hard throughout night and day And do justice for this role in legendary way" He accepted the offer without a single doubt This was the opportunity for him to breakout Progress on the road to success by taking the main route To reach his full potential before he bows out Kept acting with his heart dedicated from the start Had deep passion for the art and he soon became a star With his final act he raised the bar It was too late when he realized he'd gone too far He soon became a villain a slave to the moon Spent his free time training in a dark room Laughing like a lunatic listening to the screams Watched horror scenes repeating on a screen Played the psychopath showing skills with the knife Project succeeded movie lived up to the hype He amazed everyone with best performance of his life But couldn't get away from the demons of the night All evil thoughts used to give him chills Became second nature for his twisted will His mind fell ill contemplating all the kills Gave in to the thrill and got addicted to the pills He thought about his mentors remembered what they said But infection was too strong he failed to stop the spread He felt it's coming to an end his vision turned red He was found next morning overdosed on his bed
