“Celebrity status

Just for murdering people.

Baby doesn’t it feel so

Familiar?”

Rewarded with fame,

For it’s a horrid sin.

Fame should be given

Life isn’t about your final moments

It’s about the moments that led up to them

The moments when your heart stopped

When you realize that you’ve lived a happy life

Moments that make you smile so much you can’t stop

Moments when you question every choice you’ve ever made
