The girl’s a live wire
from woven hair to mani’d
tips- she’s electric.
The girl’s on fire
magazine covers smokin’
Youtube links burn bright
The girl’s hot copy
glam pix or sordid romance
media laps it up
The girl is burnin’
flaming tongues set her ablaze
‘spec’ fuels the fire
The girl’s a train wreck.
Her every move on trial.
Bruised and battered, once
shooting star- snuffed out. John Q
Public? Drunk on her demise.

Excellent, Violet. The trajectory of a star. Wishing I could make an arc with ellipses….

While others have seen this as the star’s trajectory, I tend more towards the opposites of the media’s illusion and grim reality. Poor lass.
