The Marilyn Syndrome

Tarnished tinted tinsel
Exploited by
Searching spotlight sickness
Plastic in the mold hardens

Trendy trash takeovers
Instigated to the point of
Massive mimicking makeovers
In land of no pardons

Normalcy constantly reinvents

As the cast is set
A perfect image in the making
Getting caught in the net
Is worth all the faking

An idolizing fan base only circumvents

Staggering realities
Denied to thine eyes
From unavoidable finalities
That wears many a guise

We all want the Norma Jean
Sex appeal and blow
Constantly in the scene
With an unattainable status quo

In and out of rehab
There are so many to pick and choose
Like a sick, demented fad
No news is no longer good news

As the fame slowly takes its toll

And right before your eyes
You are no longer you
Fitting perfectly into the mold of lies
Realizing now that you are screwed

Everybody’s little Barbie doll
