Mrs Hollywood

Dear mrs. Hollywood This will be my only letter I hope it's understood Once done you'll know me better It seems, my lack of self esteem Helped mold your false impression This quite possibly may sting But consider it a blessing I pampered your pride Added stuffing to your rear But the truth is, I lied It's time to make that clear You weren't the image of perfection I let you believe to be Never the reflection I wanted looking back at me Now that your turned around I'm letting this burden fly If you hear a praising sound You'll be sure it isn't I Tales of the glory, of being you Began to burn my ears I'm smarter than you think and I accrue Things I've heard over the years A mom with a business centered mind You measure achievement by wealth That poor little girl, always left behind Alone on her grand carousel You're starved for power, parched for fame And you finally got a taste Several people have learned your name As you win your invisible race I give you credit for climbing so high The clouds now cover your feet You reach your hand to my surprise But it was your ego that needed to eat You quickly retrieved your limb Retracting it from my reach Lucky for me, I know how to swim And was never much of a leech So this is how I'll say farewell Nothing more, required You chose the time to bail My loyalty has expired
