Sold Youth

Surrounded, screens of bold, shining news

Waiting patiently for the next big deal

Hoping earnestly to have a role

Old news

Let it go

Sears through self-belief

Inflates the tear into a bloated mistruth

I can't recover my distorted view

As bad as mediocrity goes, I'd rather be poor

I'm guessing it's better to pretend

Sold youth

Full of holes

Old news

Let it go

Leave yourself alone, won't be long

Rabid hunger for a limelight spot

Leave your thoughts, go cold, won't be long

Better for someone

How to make the news?

What stood as your protagonist bares a fleeting trend

Sold youth

Let it go

Old news

Let it go
