Welcome to Hollywood!

by A Victim of Fate   Jan 24, 2008


Fake smiles and plastered on skin,
Hiding the person from within,
Famous and never having privacy,
Welcome to Hollywood!

People like you for what you wear,
Smelly chemicals the stiffen up your hair,
Then when you have a bad day it's on the news,
Welcome to Hollywood!

Skimpy skirts that show what you got,
Red carpet, whether you're hot or you're not,
Doing anything to be in the spotlight,
Welcome to Hollywood!

Make-up that costs a hujillion dollars,
Everyone doesn't hear who shouts and hollers,
So just smile and prtend everything is okay,
Welcome to Hollywood!

Famous people's hands and feet on the sidewalk,
We copy how the look and how they talk,
When will this generation get a life of it's own?
Welcome to Hollywood!

    I love this piece! I'm shocked at it's rating. (Just so you kow I voted it a 4, because I did really like it and I hardly ever vote a 5 unless the piece is phenomenal) I loved the tone of the piece, mocking the celebrities and in a way the people obsessed with them, and then repeatingly saying 'Welcome to Hollywood!'.
    My favorite lines were;

    Skimpy skirts that show what you got,
    Red carpet, whether you're hot or you're not,

    Brilliant! Well, I like them anyway.

    I really like this poem; the message is so true! When a celebrity dies, it's all around my school, and I think who is he or she.
    Anyway back to the poem, the images were very palpable and it flowed smoothly. Also, it seemed to have been written from your heart. It was almost like a story within a poem to me for some reason. 5/5
