Notice of absence from NDOU ROLIVHUWA
Hello, I'm currently residing in a rural area with limited internet access. I rely on my prepaid data plan to stay connected, and I'm running low on data. As a result, I'll be temporarily unavailable until I can replenish my data or access a stable WiFi connection. Thank you for your understanding!

Fame's elusive dream, a fleeting high
A pursuit that consumes, yet often denies
True happiness and peace of mind
Leaving emptiness, a hollow find
Many chase the spotlight's glare
But in its shadow, darkness shares
The pressure mounts, the stress takes toll
And souls are sold for momentary role
They compromise their values, lose their way
And in the end, their true selves slay
For fame's a cruel mistress, cold and gray
Leaving ruin in her wake, day by day
Yet still we covet her, this fleeting fame
Blind to the costs, the endless game
But true greatness lies in character's might
Not in the fame that fades with night.

Absolutely. You nailed it. Great work.
Thanks
The dream that robs the soul.
I couldn't agree more. It's important to be mindful of the costs of our pursuits and make sure we're not sacrificing our souls in the process.
