A Rising Star Poem by Mark Heathcote

A Rising Star



It takes courage to burn inside and out
to catch fire and discover fame.
Only to be extinguished at some point again.
It takes a phoenix to rise from its ashes
bat lashes become a prominent actress.
It takes bravery to take to the stage
be the first on parade, action!
Act on instinct, applauded, adulated,
and the next fall through a trapdoor.
It takes courage to be you, a rising star.
