Lingering Shadows

Title: Lingering Shadows

In a world draped with opulent façades,
Behind the silver screen’s shimmering gods,
A tragedy unfolds, a life untold,
Parasite actor Lee, lost and cold.

Amidst turbulent whispers of drug’s allure,
Lee’s artistry drowned in a substance impure.
A life once vibrant, in shadows consumed,
On the path of self-destruction entombed.

Fame’s relentless grip, a double-edged sword,
Its allure a venomous embrace, ignored.
Yet, the masks we wear, the truth we disguise,
Can devour even stars that brilliantly rise.

A cry for help concealed by accolades,
The darkness within, silently cascades.
With shattered dreams and broken wings,
Lee’s legacy tainted by forbidden things.

Mourning the loss of exceptional talent,
A reflection of a world often callous and absent.
In the depths of despair and drug’s deadly bind,
A reminder of the fragile nature of the human mind.
