The Celebrity’s Ability

My soul reaches you

A lost face among an enormous screaming crowd

I know you don't know me

Yet

We somehow know, mutually,

Each other's deepest secrets

The meaning of your words

Breathing reality into my thoughts

I sing with your melody

Enchanted by the spell of your voice

That takes over so spontaneously,

As human as our hearts can be,

Somehow

My lost forgotten spirit

Found by your magical words

Is sparked to life, once more

In a dead dreary world

Without even realizing it

The impact of your universe

Of your vision

Seeps into me

Planting roots so deep

That they will never sever

In the drowning hardships of regular life

A photographed memory

Etched into my heart

Captured in the hypnosis

You've placed on my body

To dance and sway

To the rhythm of your thoughts

My flesh and blood

Resonating with each divergent note

Each belting crescendo

That echos in the stadium

Each fall or stagger

As all your emotion pours into your performance

A commander of hope

Uniting dying souls

On a perfect night

Casting light into a dark city

Splattering paint into grey lives

Fallening stars from heaven's sky

Shining bright on a stage

Imprinting your signature

Onto the cobblestone road of time

Though dust may cover your name

And the years erode your youthful vigor

Just know, you taught my heart

To know the sheer happiness life can offer

My soul sung and lost itself

In your sea of acoustic emotion

In your deepest passions and heartbreaking struggles

Diving head first into your humanity

Without a thought or care of worry

A moment where the weight is lifted

Off my worn out shoulders

So thank you,

For ressurecting me back to life's beauty

Dear Celebrity

Side Note/My Unpopular Opinion:

I recently went to a concert, and it was one of the most spell-binding experiences I've had in a while. I wrote this piece to capture the feelings/experience of that moment. Most people, when they think of celebrities, immediately associate them with selfishness, greed and negative influence. Well, I do agree that some celebrities, especially more recent ones, are a negative influence to society. But I know not all celebrity's are like that. My unpopular opinion is that a lot more celebreties/famous people make positive, meaningful impacts in other people's lives. Some genuinly want to share their emotions, struggles and stories with the world, connecting to people on a deep intimate level. They bring magic to our lives, expressing with ease those emotions and thoughts that are so difficult to express at times. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, especially with those celebrities you grow up with, but sometimes it feels as if they know me so well that they made that song, movie, etc., just for me. When others around me don't seem to understand or when life seems unfair, listening to my favourite songs, watching my favourite shows, etc. reminds me that someone else knows exactly how I feel. I didn't realize how much of a positive impact many musicians, actors, etc have made on me until after this concert experience. Many celebrity's were just like you and me, but with creativity, passion and perseverance, they were able to make there dreams come true. The fact that they made it inspires me to pursue my own dreams too.
