- That feeling of being obligated. Like a signal mom caring for a child that is not hers. In the same way you came to me. For whatever reason you adored me, like a child meeting their favorite superhero. You admired my works like nobody else. I admired the love you gave to me. It was warm and unfamiliar. So I stayed in bed a little longer. The look that you gave me was passionate and ready…a burden on my back. Something I could not repeat with my physicality. I am a stranger to love and because of that I must vanish. Leaving an oblivious note that you will read.

The Idol
- That feeling of being obligated. Like a signal mom caring for a child that is not hers. In the same way you came to me. For whatever reason you adored me, like a child meeting their favorite superhero. You admired my works like nobody else. I admired the love you gave to me. It was warm and unfamiliar. So I stayed in bed a little longer. The look that you gave me was passionate and ready…a burden on my back. Something I could not repeat with my physicality. I am a stranger to love and because of that I must vanish. Leaving an oblivious note that you will read.
-2nd part of “The Spokesperson.” Portraying the view of the idol, these 2 parts contrast in emotion because of the miscommunications between the voice of each poem. The Idol treats their admirer like an object that is stunned by its love. Being a person lacking in the emotional department , the voice of this poems leaves not wanting to feel that attachment again because of things they feel the need to do.
