Your favorite politician does not
Love you
Or know your name or
Live a life anything like your own
Celebrities are just
Like you
And I
Except
Not
That boy in the
Boy band
He’s doing a job
And we exchange stories that show
He’s like a person
Like we know
Him
Except
Not
We’re all stars
In our own minds
Every scene we’ve seen
We’re in it
No wonder we face
Disappointment
When those other actors say
The wrong lines
When they don’t love us
Enough
Or they don’t leave us
Room in the spotlight
The magazines and the blogs and the interviews and
All that
Make bank off of the grand
Illusion
That you
Are special, and
They
Are special, and
They
Are normal
They are just like you
You are just like them
Except
Not.
