Marilyn's Fate

Even Marilyn Monroe had work done
She is beauty with or without blonde
Hairs and cares of movie star heights
Perhaps her pain made her bigger than life
She is a thick beauty we admire today
Crushed by it all she was lost by fate.

I saw all her films and still wonder if it was suicide or murder. Loved your poem.

I wonder too. Her death was untimely. Thanks for reading Victor.

She had a mom who suffered from mental illness so no doubt her childhood was challenged. Would love to see your picture! Thanks for reading.
