PIERCED

Does it ever bother you
that Britney Spears has lived a fuller
more accomplished life
than you likely ever will?
Does it shame you
put you in a proper place?
Wealth, family, fame…
multiple marriages
many more sexual partners,
all around success?

Sure, she’s had help.
She has an army of support
to lean upon
for how could we have the divine Ms. Spears
without Hanson
without Tiffany
without Sean Cassidy?

She couldn’t have done it alone
but still, her heights
are higher than yours
for you?
You couldn’t have done it all.
