Role Model

by *Charisma*   May 3, 2007


She's beautiful and glamorous
Filled with fortune and fame
Everyone wants to be her
Everyone knows her name

She's on magazine covers
In movies all of us see.
She's also the same girl
Caught in scandals and schemes.

She's can barely remember
About the night before
The hangover hurts so bad
Like the cold, hard bathroom floor.

The drugs are wearing off
But her eyes are still so red.
And she doesn't know yet,
But there's a man in her own bed.

Her therapist's on speed dial
But it doesn't help anyway.
She talks and talks about changing,
But she stays the same.

Rehab isn't any better.
A few promises, and she's out
To face the world she can't handle
And fill up again with self-doubt.

The paparazzi is right there
To advertise her every mistake.
But she'll go and deny them
And continue being a fake.

So she keeps making films
Being on the big movie screen.
Just think, this is the role model
For your own young teen.

    I love this...the opening stanza pulled me right in and from there on it just kept getting better and better.
    This poem definitely produced some thought provoking questions for me.
    I thought in one ot two lines the flow seemed a little off, but apart from that you did a wonderful job.

    This was very powerful. I liked it a lot. I think a lot of parents stick their kids in front of the tv thinking that keeps them occupied with harmless things, but really kids learn to look up to the worst role model of all.
    But again, I think your flow is off in a couple lines. Like : Like the cold, hard bathroom floor. ... I think it would flow better with it companion line if you took either word out (cold/hard)...and this line: But there's a man in her own bed. I think that would flow better if you took out "own". Just better syllable wise. But again, other than that the message is very powerful.
    I really like how your changing a few of your poems up a little and breaking out of the love poem theme...one I'm afraid I'm still stuck in! Lol. :) 5/5 just the same Heehee!

    I am speechless,
    Lol. Once again,
    You have really pulled me into this one,
    and it had quite the effect on me,
    first celebrity that popped into my head
    was Lindsay Lohan, haha.
    Anyways, I really loved this, it was flawless
    except in the line..
    "She's can barely remember"
    Change "She's" to "She"

    5.5
