She was popular in high school
a quite pretty and studious girl.
She joined the drama club and
found her passion in her life.
After high school, she moved
to Hollywood intent on being a
movie star.
After years of trying, she got
a role in a comedy movie with
famous actors, and it seemed
her career was on its way.
But she never had a decent role
after that, and in her forties
became a secretary for an
insurance company to make
a living at a job she didn’t like.
She failed in her life’s ambition.
Deep depression set in, and
sadly, she took her life, her
dead dreams too much to bear.
