Her body was her success but, her intellect was just a guest that came along to the photo shoot. Undressed, she was perfect, alone she was fragile, a child looking for love. Her effects were legendary. Many have tried to capture her essence, they've failed Marilyn Monroe a fake name for a real person. Norma Jean Baker Brunette to Blonde As her two personas intersect it's hard not to feel regret for the child with a smile so wide, it reflected the sun. We , the adoring fans made her public property forgetting her individuality, sensitivity and vulnerability. We used and abused the sunshine she brought, she lived a lie We that supposedly were in love with her killed her beauty, without and within. Nembutal, overdose, suicide,cover up believe what you want. What's true is she had a luminous quality, wistfulness, radiance, and yearning that set her apart. And, in her own words "Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world" That she did, and still does.
