A Celebrity Dream And Calories

by @Cardboard_Jones

Her life was magazines And reality tv. Selling a far fetched dream. Her carbs and calories, She watches so serene To make the silver screen. The price tag so obscene, Weighs heavy on her mind. And it dug out all of her insides Til she was a ghost in a shell. Since she was just fourteen. She had nothing but dreams To reach the hollywood scene. From fame and limousines, A man boasting a ring, And everything in between. The future can't be seen Weighs heavy on her mind And it dug out all of her insides Created her hell. We hear her crying late at night Because nothing is going right. She still hopes and she prays For the life of a celebrity. Under the smog of L.A. The story always replays Of finding her fantasy. It slowly drifts away. There's nothing left to say It weighed her down And it dug out everything she was Now she is just a hollow shell. A perfect tragedy.
