Celebrity Revealed

Gilt drips down from guilt
Eyes closed, hiding secrets
Unaware, exposed
Golden glimmers dazzle at first
Impressions sculpted with care
Cast into the crowd to create a stir
Only to cause chaos when the layers
Have been peeled away
Leaving only unvarnished truth
Ugly in its nakedness
Beautiful in its purity
The hollow core of celebrity revealed
As the idol melts down
