You May Be Celebrated

You may be a tall poppy the tallest in the town
But there is always one or maybe more who will try to drag you down
Or in much simpler language to cut you down to size
That the tall poppy syndrome is alive and well should come as no surprise.

You may be wealthy and famous with a big ego one many do celebrate
But at least a few will try their best your ego to deflate
No matter how many fans you have there is always a few who would enjoy
Spreading false rumors of you around your reputation to destroy.

For fame and celebrity status there is always some price to pay
And though many sing your praises you will find some to say
This person is far from special not one historians should recall
Just like it is said you can win some but you cannot win them all.

You may be celebrated one who is known Worldwide
And your praises sung in pubs and clubs far from your home countryside
Yet there are some all too willing on your worth to cast a doubt
Whilst others are applauding you they say what's all the fuss about
