Even Icons Can Be Flawed To A Certain Extent In Life

It's quiet amazing

To meet an Iconic person

Who's larger than life

Yet in the same token

There just like

Normal people

Sharing the same

Superstitions & Idiosyncrasies

With their admirers

From all ages & walks of life

As they're basking in the spotlight

Of their popularity

They've now won an illustrious

Role model prize

Depicting a stature

Far from the norm

Of a regular celebrity

Making themselves influential enough

To leave behind

An unforgettable signature

At the height of their pinnacle career

Where a golden autograph

Graces their revered imagery

Within a posed portrait

In a sense that

Too much makeup & A Non-exclusive wardrobe

Can truly expose

A real fact that

Even Icons Can Be Flawed To Certain Extent In Life

Yes, the importance of not holding the undeserved on a pedestal and letting our role-models be human. Another insightful one, here.

We look at these celebrities who look like they lead perfect lives, when in fact people are people and tragedy and sadness can strike anyone. No one is perfect - even with the perfect make up (I mean - look at the Kardashians - trainwreck!!!! LOL) :) Julie

This is absolutely true. In the course of my life, I have met many "important" people and celebrities. They are no different than we are. No one is 100% perfect and those who realize that can enjoy life much more than those who strive to be 100% perfect or like those celebrities. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. Your poetry is always wise. Lydi**
