I found out

There was a man

Called the king of pop

Yet I learned of him

When his heart did stop


I danced and sang

For I became a popstar myself

Though I always dreamed

Of larger things

Ballet slippers on my feet


Yet my parents never

Considered my wishes

They brushed them under the rug

I cried and begged for my rise to fame

They would never budge


I found out

There was a thing

Called mental deterioration

Yet I learned of it

After the damage was made


I cried and stared off

For I was broken

As I dreamed

For better things

Desiring to be freed


Yet I was a kid

I was imprisoned

And my captors

Are my parents

Required to care for me

Did they even care about me?
