Celebrity

As the car door opens, she steps out. She is beautiful, beyond all doubt. Her dress is as elegant as a ballerina’s dance. All eyes on her, gazing in trance. Her audience applauds her as she walks by. She fakes a smile when she wants to cry. She wants to escape this overwhelming life. It saddens her that there is always strife. She greets the others as she walks in. They give her looks and also grin. She wonders if they feel the same way. Maybe on the inside, they are not ok. Do they feel the pressure to always act out? Drinking and partying, that’s not what life is about. How can we be an influence when our morals are gone? Even though we hurt, we continue to push on. Sometimes she wishes she could go back to being just her. The movies and spotlight is not what she deserves. She feels the need to fulfill everyone’s desire. It takes control like a consuming fire. She has grown weary with all the fame. Life isn’t easy when there is no one else to blame. The need for a normal life is there. In the end, all she has is prayer.
