She wore diamonds of despair in her hair
pearls of paranoia in her curls
but the hole within her soul
could not be filled with gold
nor yet with all the riches in the world.
She wore her deceit just like a badge
and a million stars shone within her tears
but her ever failing health
could not hide behind her wealth
it was plastic that was holding back the years.
She had left a trail of havoc in her wake
with no thought to those she left behind
now she is dying all alone
in her million dollar home
wondering why on earth the world was so unkind.

Welcome to MPS! Great poem! Sounds like someone who favored riches in her lifetime rather than family or love. Tragic but very well written!--Christina
