True Self Lost in the Pursuit of Name, Fame, and Wealth: Micro-poems

Haiku 
Name, fame and riches
All of them are sweet poisons
They destroy your true self
 
AI Haiku
Sweet gold, shining bright,
Fame's song, a honeyed trap,
Self lost in the gleam.
 
Couplets
A name in lights, a hollow gleam,
Distorts the soul, a broken dream.
 
Fame's fleeting kiss, a sugary lie,
Leaves emptiness beneath the sky.
 
Riches amass, a gilded cage,
Where true content finds no stage.
 
Cinquains 
Name,
A sweet sound,
Turns the head, swells the heart,
Lost in echoes, who am I?
Gone.
 
Fame,
A bright fire,
Burning fast, consuming all,
Reflecting others, not myself,
Dust.
 
Riches,
Gold's soft gleam,
Chains unseen, binding tight,
Trading freedom for its worth,
Void.
