And l will become quite a household name

And I will become quite a household namewith nothing in soul and with nothing behind.And shoulders will burn in exorbitant shame,and eyes due to vices became deadly blind.

I know it. I feel it. I am too much old,because of my dreams and my usual longing.But someday I can and step over threshold.My pride will be killed. Former me will be crumbling.
