I'm a fan (and you should be too) because Britney is not only a pop legend, she is an extremely admirable young woman, too. The whole world is turned against her--people kick her when she's down, people rub salt in her wounds. People humiliate her pain and suffering. People love to hate her, and why? Only because she is who she is--successful, talented, gorgeous, "Miss American Dream".
Dear Britney
.
Dear Britney, I’m Lena, a fan of yours
Trying to represent myself and millions more
I’m writing you a poem because I want you to know
That you have supporters who will sympathize
With you; try to understand you, and always
Defend you, through all your highs and lows
.
Dear Britney, I hope you know
That I understand you’re only a human girl
You can’t be perfect, and you’re allowed
To mess up like all other humans
And no matter how bad they make your blunders sound
Supporting you still makes me proud
.
Dear Britney, I hope you'll believe it’s true
That I don’t care what the media says about you
Being your fan gives me a sense of pride
And no matter how bad the gossip sounds
No matter what the rest of the world thinks
I promise to always be on your side
.
Dear Britney, I hope you’ll remember
I know being a superstar comes with a big price
And your fame only makes people misunderstand you
And tabloids can be the most sadistic liars
Paparazzi can be the most annoying pests
But I won’t believe the rumors they spew
.
Dear Britney, I hope you keep in mind
That in my book you are one of a kind
You’ve been the best and you’ll always be
Your success is deserved—you had nothing to start
But you worked so hard, for everything you’ve earned
And that is truly an inspiration to me
.
Dear Britney, I hope you realize
Like all your fans, I try to understand and sympathize
I used to swoon over your beauty and grace
You seemed so perfect to me before, but now
With your troubles, I can see you lack true care and guidance
And I see that stardom can be the loneliest place
.
Dear Britney, I hope that you are aware
Of how many people out there truly care
—so many more than the tabloids want you to think
Maybe our support doesn’t show in the form of a headline; maybe
That’s why it’s harder to see; but always remember the people
Who cry, watching you being pushed to the brink
.
Dear Britney, I hope someone’s told you this
How amazing the courage you display is
Your flaws and troubles are what everyone knows
But between rehab, court, being stalked and scorned
Your songs still topped the charts—
I admire so much the strength you've been able to show
.
Dear Britney, still I hope you’ll heed
My advice to you to get the help you need
It's been painful to watch your life falling apart
This whole past year, and it keeps getting worse
I really hope you’ll get better soon
Because seeing you like this breaks my heart
.
Dear Britney, I hope you can see
That your current state is so worrying
I pray and pray that you’ll soon get well
But I can’t help you beyond words because it’s your life
You’re the one who can make the difference
So please promise to take good care of yourself
.
Dear Britney, I know it’s been hard
From the day you chose this life to start
Your fame and stardom should have been a reward
For all you sacrificed for this life
But your success has only become a punishment
For all the sweat, blood, and tears you’ve poured
.
But Britney, I also truly believe
That all this turmoil is only temporary
You’ll get better soon and the tables will turn
Those who have hurt you will get what they deserve
You’ll get back everything that’s been taken from you
And you can enjoy this life that you’ve earned
.
PS Britney, I want to give you a hug
For having been able to endure so much
As a last note, I want you to know no matter what
You’re my idol forever, and I’ll support you always
Sincerely yours,
Lena
.
And it would be a dream come true if Britney ever saw this.
