Vanity Or Insanity

by Victoria   Jun 10, 2005


A girl once wanted the sparkle of the light that shone in her eyes
She did not care if it was full of lies
Craving for the fame
That everyone would know her name
She wanted that limelight that only stars seemed to posses
Never realising she had become totally obsessed
Her friends saw a different person emerge from within
Her lust for this sparkle never gave in
Even when she lost her friends from years ago
Her family never realised the length she would go
Climbing the social ladder just waiting for that break
For her it was as easy as baking a cake
The girl forgot the people who had helped her get where she was
But even when she lost everyone she loved the craving never paused
One night the girl was driving home from a party she had gone to
On her dashboard was the exclusive invitation stating the fame is for you
To warped up in her new glamour she did not see the other car
By the time she hit the brakes she had driven to far
A huge smash and explosion and the young girls life was gone
Unfortunately the fame she craved was in death this would be how her named lived on
She hit all the front headlines for the wrong grounds
But in death the fame the girl found
May she rest in peace forevermore
Her legacy will be eternal and her story will hit the core

    So many left aside , all wanting to be love and wanting some attention. I think if we all just look around our only circles we may find one or two people like that and if we could spend some time and should some concern, we would all be living in a better world. Lovely write.

    Warm regards,

    a few spelling errors, but an excellent write. it makes you think....and you want to keep reading to see what happens to the girl.....you know there are so many people in this world that do crave the attention, I think they miss out on it at home, or in their social circle, we all need approval, and we all need to be appreciated for whatever it is we do. So heres my chance to tell you, i do appreciate how much work you put into your poems, it does not go unnoticed....you are a very talented writer,maybe we should all jump on a chance to tell someone their good or that we appreciate them.....we could make a difference in their lives...thanks for sharing love ya, Becky
