The spotlight can be deceiving.
It can make you do things
You don’t want.
The spotlight can
Shine on the brightest stars
With the brightest future,
Or can be dull on the weakest.
When the spotlight hit don’t change
Your image because the people
Around you will change.
When the spotlight hit,
Stay true to yourself
When the spotlight hit
Take advantage of your opportunities.
