CELEBRITY MANAGER

She said doesn't Sound
like you Have many real friends
And she was right
That celebrity manager

She said doesn't it
Feel like you're
Surrounded by enemy
And never a true friend
She asked wouldn't
You rather bring forward
People you actually like?

And I must be honest
I'd never thought enough About
with whom I surrounded Myself
beyond people who gave
Rides or free tickets to Other places
And didn't quite prioritize
people who will have your back
And speak their mind
About you and miss you
When they do

People who already been
Thru fire with you
Thru and thru
And at Comic Con
more than once in SD too
(A true test of any relationship)

Those people I’ve always had
On shelves for later or
Kept as sacred cows
To never see
Slaughtered
Just simply adored

I never even considered
Thinking most
of only my personal
Favorites and ya
Know who liked treated me best?
Until that celebrity manager asked me
Doesn’t it feel like you have a lot of enemies?
Yes, I was surrounded by guns
All pointed inwards
By supposed friends

What a delight
And horror it is
To be any kind of celebrity
To cut like a knife
Chaff from wheat
People from lives
And imagined dreams
Thankfully they
Have celebrity managers
To ask very hard questions for them

Why shouldn’t I
Or you
live like we got
a celebrity manager
Inside our own head
Urging us to do our best
And forget about the rest
Constantly pressing
All the time for us
as if their own pay
Depended on our worth

Live as if someone cared
And before you know it
Someone will

Celebrity manager
said doesn't
Sound like you
Have many friends
But the ones I have
Are most precious
And worthy of my protection

Perhaps if we treated
Every person with the same
Bright bold affection
And big love
That we have for stars
we would see we All
are absolutely just the most amazing
And every single one of us
is already famous
To someone somewhere

That quote nothing existence
Has days richer and filled with more laughs
Than most actual celebrity years
So I tell folks just avoid avoid
Anything like some kind of celebrity
Where people rise up to kiss butt
And constantly think we could be friends!
When really

She said doesn't Sound
like you Have many real friends
And she was right
That celebrity manager
