Pain of fame.

Hollow cheeks,
hollow eyes.

 

Painted to hide the truth,

rouged cheeks,

glazes eyes,

long eyelashes.

Stick thin arms,

bone legs,

bone back,

all covered by large clothing.

 

To hide the shame,

to hide the pain of fame.

 

 

Author notes

I find so any of our "celebs" are overly skinny.... and they are showing our youth that you have to be scary thin to be someone... and its sad!!

    well done. this is more of a serious issue than the media would like to believe. what we see on tv does affect us in some ways...especially young people. i even get affected by these images and I am 31 yrs old! thanks for sharing your talent.
