I kept myself hidden from the world…
The drugs and the fame
All just the ending of my life

The elegant beauty and the fabulous life
All just an enormous lie hidden well by publicity

The pain inside doesn’t show me…
“I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent.”

They craved for me
Just to show me off as a prize
They didn’t want much
Only:
The money and
The stories

I don’t see the issue if they called me spoiled
It’s who I was

I was a glistening diamond
They discovered
I was polished quickly
My heart got broken so many times
Just ending up smaller and smaller to the world

They couldn’t be fulfilled of their wishes
I was not needed after their games
Just another piece of plastic
Worthless to the world
I was just another piece of entertainment
That had been worn out

From the simple original Norma Jeane Baker to worthless Marylin Monroe
I wasn’t missed before my death
Only the legacy of me will carry through the ages
Through the stories good and bad
Along, with the mysteries of my life…
