CAGED BY FAME

She was misunderstood

She was highly rated

Living a life of fame and glam

Living a life on “Lane-fabulous”

They expected so much from her

They all saw her as a gem

A stone too precious to be kept in a museum

A jewel on the move

Valued celeb

Gifted hands

Double-crowned royalty

But her life was not what she wanted

She was just too overrated

She was young

But her youth was slipping away from her

The price was fame

And the buyer...the public

She was having regrets

Freedom was so far from her

Wealth was her tenant

Vanity was her lifestyle

Love was in the theater

Every speech was rehearsed

Every date was screened

Every occasion was glam-rated

It was getting too artificial for her

Her life was becoming an illusion

She was sniffing too much of the luxury hills

She was getting too intoxicated with this life

She used to be an innocent damsel from a humble home

There was once a farm

And everything had a limit

But that was “Once upon a time”

Once in her birth town

Now she was choking in the city

Bright lights were blinding her

She was sick of it all

She knew it was time

It was her only chance

And she took it!
