On This Wondrous Sea
On this wondrous sea Sailing Silently, Ho! Pilot, Ho! Knowest thou the shore Where no breakers roar -- Where the storm is o'er?

In the peaceful west Many the sails at rest -- The anchors fast -- Thither I pilot thee -- Land Ho! Eternity! Ashore at last!

By, Emily Dickinson

After she graduated Amherst university she attended Mount Holyoke female seminary. She dropped out after a year due to homesickness. After that she spent the rest of her life at home.

Fame is to be in the light that never ends To be crushed by cameras Admired or disgusted by so many Embarrassment and pressure is the price of fame

To be perfect seems like it is to much to be asked of But that is fame To be smashed by the media is part of fame

The cameras envelope you as you walk down the blood red carpet to your destiny The lies swallow you up and spit you out. Nowhere to go, trapped in the very thing you wanted most

No normal life or privacy

Remember? This is what you wanted-pay up-
