lindsey lohan

i just heard
she got arrested
DUI
cocaine
a week clean
that didnt last
whats going on
is it attention
you crave
is it love
you desire
where is your
self worth
self esteem
self

lindsey
dont let them
hold you down
they created an image
and you have tried
relentlessly
to uphold it
and really
why
its not an image
to be proud of
its not cool
and now
especially
its getting sad

you are brilliant
beautiful
smart
and witty
and yet
you are
leading people
to believe
that you
care not
about life
rules
values
but that
its all about
you
your drugs
your party
your image

what image
will be left
if no one
cares
to know
or if
you cut
this life
short
through
the thoughtless
reckless
acts

if you want
to be
like paris
and go to jail
then cry
and get so much
attention
thats not
the way
to do it
you could
take a better route
not have to go
as far
as the cell
and stand up
be proud
of who you are
how you are
and if no one likes you
what does it matter
you like yourself
and your mom
she loves you

you are only hurting
the people
who really love you
in trying
to please
those
who only want
to sell you.

who knows what will happen now
but what i do know
is you can decide
today
to reclaim
your life
and rebuild
your image
go to school
just because
you have millions
never
undervalues
an education
maybe join the military
discipline
whatever it is
stope wasting time
stop wasting money

if i had
a quarter
of what you do
i would change
children
people
media
and the way
they think
see
believe.

you have so much power
and you choose
to use it
in making
a fool
of yourself.
thats sad.

i wish for you
happiness
success
health
and
above all
truth.

if i ever met you
i would hug you
and remind you
that you
are beautiful
as you are
fuck them
they are lame
you need no one
beyond yourself

good luck with your day
good luck with your life.
be well.
peace.

I linked here from the Melissa Etheridge forum.
Everything you say is so true. Lindsay has so much talent, so much going for her.What a shame for her to throw it all away.
I hope that she gets the help that she needs. And that she finds the happiness and meaning in life tthat Melissa and Tammy have.
In the words of an old bluegrass song-"She's more to be pitied than scolded/she needs to be loved,not despised."
And this is true of another troubled, talented young woman, Britney Spears.
