Celebrity..

I feel that pain
when I look at you
the one you desperately seek
to hide
not out of fear
but out of a simple need
of dignity
and privacy
denied you
over and over again.

I want to stand up for you
I want to stand next to you
link palms
forget the world

linger for a moment
in a gaze shared
as I give it back to you
your dignity
your privacy
your simple heart
and quiet need
acknowledged
for a moment
long enough
to let the waves of noise
wash away
retreat
ebb away

clarity
peace
serenity

leave him alone.
he deserves better.
