[hometext] => What must go through the mind of these young stars of today?
[bodytext] => A Pop Icon Captured voices run merciless in my desolate ears My peers, my fans, and my family all want to interject They insist respect, sex and scandal, fame and glory I tell my story: they all listen, they all lie, We all ask why I can’t try to explain anymore I’m not a hor, I’m not a little girl, I’m not anything I just sing, I dance, I act, and I entertain I have a name: a million sales, a million fans And a million plans to play hide and go seek I can’t meet one or two it’s thousands a day A week, a month what can I say what do I do? I can’t be you I don’t want to be me I’m everybody in every column in every tabloid I’m annoyed, I’m terrified, I’m dazed and confused I’d say I’m abused by the media, the paparazzi, the fanatics…. If I’m at a club I’m a topless dancer, If I’m smoking I have lung cancer. If I’m dating I’m having an affair If I’m with friends I can’t go anywhere. I try and stay alive hoping more music is the answer I’m a cancer spreading throughout the world I’m that girl naked, tortured, and screaming There’s no more dreaming just watching and waiting I can’t stop hating! I can’t stop wanting! I’m not always flaunting I’m just like you What would millions do for you today and tomorrow There’d be no need to borrow, no worries, no time It’s all mine: I can get anything I want you’d think Peace is a blink; a moment in time a sleep at night I think I might, I think I can it’s then everywhere No one could care except loved one’s that share I’m over there I’m over here & there I go There is no place, there is no privacy, This is no life...... If I’m singing I’m the world’s radio If I’m at a party I’m everyone’s hero If I talk the media will intrude If I yell will I not be considered rude? Can you be good all the time? Make no mistakes No heart breaks, no kiss to tell Is this hell is it worth the money It’s not funny, it’s not real, it’s not my life If I’m a wife, I’m pregnant, and If I die My family will cry, my fans will ask why But the media will try to make my legacy continue A book review: my past lovers, my first time My innocent crime my friends fears My first loves tears they’ll never let go I’m an echo in an empty concert hall A shadow on the wall, a star in the sky All I wanted was to try and make people dance Put them in a trance make them my audience With persistence I got their I’m here now. I’m every little girl’s fantasy: thank you I’m every man’s fantasy too. I’m one of the best selling artists in history I’m a pop icon with her story.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
