Blonde and bright in black and white movies
Poet,journalist,actress-you joined The Group
Poet,journalist,actress-you joined The Group
Clifford Odets used your Hollywood cache
exploited you for support/you loved
but were not loved/and when the gloss wore off
You were incarcerated/imprisoned in asylum
largely because you were ferocious
and would not submit to THE SYSTEM
Your monies disappeared/your own mother waged war
upon your only sense of identity/your autobiography
a journey to hells far worse than Hell.This human prison
you were celled within-all that has been
did not stop you evolving-through alcohol and television
until you found acceptance within a family
and the god you rejected at 16
returned at 45 to calm your savage seas.
You lived so fully there was no room for others' dramas
The scripts you followed were written by others
When you finally found your own,it was alone
To be @peace,you had to leave all love
Burn anger to the bone,and find your only home
upon the stage.Rage could be channeled
All you wished was to be alone
but that was someone else's line
from another lifetime
