She lives on the covers of magazines

And adorns the pages in various scenes

She has an outfit for every page

And dreams of one day being on the stage

​

Travelling the world to far off places

Photos' being taken wearing different faces

Fame and fortune in her hand

Living the life she always planned

​

Adoring fans showing her affection

Her career is going in only one direction

Celebrity appearances on TV

This is where she always wanted to be

​

Dreams and aspirations take you so far

Hard work and dedication may make you a star

Sometimes it may be just by chance

You're lucky enough to catch someone's glance

​

But reality beckons and she clears her head

He's paid his money and he climbs onto the bed

Then stares at her, drooling like a pig at a trough

As she stands there slowly taking her clothes off

A/N

This was my first new poem that I had written in over 20 years!  My inspiration had returned after all this time.

Inspired by a song called "She Takes Her Clothes Off" by Stereophonics.
