Goodbye, Norma Jeane...............                                Marilyn Monroe
	"Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul"  "I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not becuause I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else."
		Beautiful, sweet, sad, and extraordinary, Marilyn was always a lady in her heart. Click here to read her biography.  Click here to read her quotes. (And please do.)  Marilyn wanted what money and fame could not give her--love, happiness, and respect.  When I read her quotes, and biography, it makes me want to be all that she could not be--taken seriously, and all that she was--tenderhearted, smart, and very in touch with reality. Marilyn's Poetry: I could have loved you once and even said it But you went away When you came back it was too late And love was a forgotten word. Remember? __________________________ O, Time Be kind Help this weary being To forget what is sad to remember Loose my loneliness, Ease my mind, While you eat my flesh ________________________               I I left my home of green rough wood, A blue velvet couch. I dream till now A shiny dark bush Just left of the door, Down the walk Clickety clack As my doll in her carriage Went over the cracks "We'll go far away."                       II Don't cry my doll Don't cry I hold you and rock you to sleep Hush hush I'm pretending now I'm not your mother who died                III Help help Help I feel life coming closer When all I want to do is die ___________________ From time to time I make it rhyme but don't hold that kind of thing against me- Oh well, wht the hell, so it won't sell. What I want to tell- is what's on my mind: 'taint Dishes. 'tain't Wishes. it's thoughts flinging by before I die- and to think in ink _____________________ Good nite Sleep and sweet repose Where ever you lay your head- I hope you find your nose- __Marilyn Monroe
