The world envied her,
From their eyes she had a perfect life –
fame, name and money,
that could buy,
anything she desired.
But no one knew,
How she felt,
How her soul was caged,
Like a brig in a stowaway brigade.
For the money,
and the supercilious world,
that surrounded her,
Couldn’t buy her,
The freedom of a carefree lark,
That she wished many times,
Crying alone in the dark.

Confab With Me 
The sadness we all hide. Money can’t buy happiness..so well depicted.💙
True. Famous celebrities often have little to no privacy. The media is always behind every tiny activity they do.
This is how it is in a lot of peoples life.
Yes. Those things can never bring true happiness
Isn’t this the sad reality of our time today. So well written
Bitter truth!
