I'll Give You A Rose ~ Marilyn Monroe (Acrostic)




Mesmerizing in their beauty, your eyes
Are truly a window into your soul where
Rich colours flow, bathing the world
In your magic glow. You have been
Loved and desired by men who look at
You high above them on the silver screen,
Never knowing your pain and confusion

May you rest in peace, oh, beautiful
One. This was always how it was to be,
Norma Jean. Your spirit will forever be
Remembered as candles flicker in the wind
Of times long past. Don't let anyone
Ever tell you, it's only make believe

 

 

 

 

Marilyn Monroe ~  1 June 1926 - 5 August 1962 

 

 

 

Author notes

In the course of checking her out I found some quotes on the official Marilyn Monroe website...

"No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they are pretty, even if they aren't."

"I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else."

"I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it."

"It's all make believe, isn't it?"
