Not Your Fault

Searching for down time,

Alone time,

Away from the camera time,

Looking for privacy,

Society, fans and critics demanding for time,

Pictures of you at events, shopping, coffee breaks and home time,

You’re life documented in series of still pictures and movies,

People demanding for more, judging what they have,

Personal information shared, cruel rumors spread,

Your boundaries being invaded, your decisions being condemned,

Nothing is kept safe, everything is broadcasted,

Soon even the most personal possessions exploited,

Nudes leaked, your naked body flooding news shows,

People commenting, insulting,

Blaming you for the ignorance and inhumanity of others,

Degrading you for having nudes and personal information,

People shaming those who feed the beast but look at the photos too,

Demeaning your body, disgusted of your flaws,

Marveling at your curves and body,

Suddenly you have people justifying your picture,

People belittling your actions,

And even other arguing with everyone just to argue,

But no one understands and though people offer support,

You still struggle to push through and put on a brave face,

Just remember it’ll get better, and

It’s not your fault
