Some Say Caramel is Lucky

Caramel is lucky some say
because she is a famous singer
owns three mansions
is loved by thousands
her songs are known world-wide
She can fill a concert hall and makes millions

her mother committed suicide when she was ten
no one remembers that or thinks it is a big deal
Caramel has always wanted a baby
she has had six miscarriages
and one stillborn
but no one talks about these hardships

Caramel has been married five times
two men have left her using divorce
citing irreconcilable differences
her favorite husband died in a plane crash, age 41.
two others took a lot of her money with them
Maybe she is not as lucky as some think
