Celebrity vexations

We often fantasize the life of a celebrity, but fail to account their complications.Just a lighthearted piece on this.In the shoes of a celebrity..

My skin is so attuned to those whitewash,

Without them I look worse than a dry fish

Everyone admires when I wear sharp wedges,

They rewind and giggle when I fall at the edges!

 

Long black gown in an ad made me a style icon,

There's gonna be a high demand at the auction

Someday a zip snaps; out of a misfortune,

Making up a column under wardrobe malfunction

Adored was I someday, when dressed to the nines,

When repeated, made it to the article headlines!

 

I go out for coffee with a co-star as I'm bored,

Now we are gauged as the secret love birds

My boyfriend for a change dumps me one day,

About our breakup soon everyone's got a say!

In frustration I drink and drive home,

Now I'm a topic of debate for some!

 

One day I go out and have the food I ardor,

Next day my weight is a subject of everyone’s bother,

Fans with zeal sketch and present me my picture,

I'm bound to just smile and let go my displeasure,

I'm expected to know all the universal matters,

Else I’ll be glorified at the satirical center!

 

Just I step out at public places someday,

I'm bound to tolerate media all the way,

 I open my facebook fan page just in case,

To see the people with profiles of my own face!

True, indeed! So much toil and turmoil behind that pretty face and the gentle gait! An ugly world keeps clawing at them, thirsty for the moment they snap. In the midst of this, paps forget they are humans too. Ofcourse, on the other hand there are those, a small number, who crave the attention and soil everyone's image and opinion.
Enjoyed your views and way you wrote this. I like that you find most simplest or strangest of the topics and pen them down so fluidly :)

Thanks a lot Sindu for your beautiful review :))

This piece is very well done. It balances the dark and light of the subject, thus showing the irony. Your spelling and grammar are good (which I love to see, especially since I mess it up from typing too fast lol). You have great talent. Fantastic job on winning first place for the Dark Humor contest.

this is an ugly life, what is worst when you have to compromise your privacy? this is not bad on the star side but media, who creates hoopla. There's no doubt now a days, celebs PR are doing best to keep them in picture... be it wardrobe malfunction, weight loss or nude selfies etc etc

[Deepika]

So True.I agree with you! Thanks Mayank for stopping by :)

Its a pitiful situation that you have so beautifully described here deepika, I wonder how you pick up topics to write about, the themes are so unusual from the regular reads here. cheers :)

[Deepika]

Thank you so much Roshan :))

Good poem. Liked the tone of voice, not quite approving but sympathetic to the plight of celebrities. It's funny, they love the bright lights, the fawning, the wide eyed admiration and then b***h about the lack
of privacy and stuff.
