Joe Russo- A Poem

Marilyn Monroe

We all want to

Be like Her.

Beautiful.

The blonde, curly hair.

The perfect physique. 

A perfect beauty.  

We all pain like her

See how other’s 

Laugh.

Hurting.

Can’t find that 

Last 

True piece of happiness.  

We were all

Happy

Like her.

But it takes

Over.

Grabs hold.

Covers you up. 

Darkness.

Like all she see Now.
