Rachel St.Cross Poet Free verse

Beautiful, Marilyn Monroe

I knew then  { when under her first film contract }  what I had known when I was
Thirteen and walked along the sea edge in a bathing suit for the first time. I knew
I belonged to  the public and  to the world----not because I was talented, or even 
Beautiful,  but because I had never  belonged to anyone else. The  public was the 
Only family, the only Prince Charming, the only home I had  ever dreamed about.
I didn't go into the  movies to make  money. I wanted to become  famous so that 
Everyone would like me and I'd be surrounded by love and affection. ~ 



                                                                                          * "Marilyn Monroe"
