Have you ever thought that famous people have it all <br />Their magnitude is built on their ability to enthrall <br />Think about how they stand out from the ordinary crowd… <br />Success and notoriety fascinate us; we love to be wowed <br /> <br />What is the price for being in the lime light of achievement <br />Can an outstanding performance result in sad bereavement <br />Our thirst for a window into their personal lives is an obsession <br />Why is it that many famous people experience depression <br /> <br />When someone has a status to endorse, they often congeal <br />They lose their precious privacy; daily routines become surreal <br />When shopping at the store or taking their children out to play… <br />The paparazzi hunts with intruding lenses, stalking their prey <br /> <br />The famous have wealth we admire and wish we could acquire <br />A steep penalty for fame is a price not many of us would desire <br />What is the most important thing that we all want and need <br />The anonymous have it... the freedom to breathe… Agreed?<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/they-have-it-all/
