Butterfly princess of the world
Actress, addict, alcoholic
Reinvents herself to just an actress
Beautiful, refined,
Woman of Talent:
They tell me you are awesome and I believed them, for
I have seen your life take turns for worst
you turn and make it for good
And they tell me you are influential and I answer: Yes
it is true you prompt young women to
be themselves and only that.
They tell me you were ruthless and my reply is:
once she flashed Letterman but those
are days behind her.
And having answered so I turn once more to those
who sneer at this beauty, and I give them back
the sneer and say to them:
Come and show me another woman with lifted head
singing so proud to be alive and free and
strong and pretty.
Flinging words about curses and jobs well done
and here is a woman with secrets among
secrets of shame
Fierce as a dog with teeth flashing for action,
frightening as a savage thrown to wilderness,
Barefooted
Snarrling
Shameful
And they ask why I think much of you and I say:
to be a ruthless girl
is different than a reinvented soul.
