In the spotlight’s glare, where dreams entwine,
A world of fame, where stars brightly shine.
The allure of glitz, a siren’s call,
Yet shadows linger, behind the hall.

Faces smile, but hearts may weep,
Beneath the surface, secrets keep.
A dance of masks, a fleeting show,
In the popular life, few truly know.

Echoes of laughter fill the night,
Yet lonely whispers speak the plight.
The crowd adores, as lights ignite,
But solitude follows, out of sight.

In the end, the curtain falls,
Silence echoes in empty halls.
The glitter fades, revealing truth,
The popular life, a fleeting youth.
