It is hard being green and magical. People don’t really understand you. Instead, they threaten you; they want you gone from their community. Your friends don’t understand you either. The older ones mock you as they sit comfortably in the alcoves and balconies of life. The younger ones falsely try to imitate you – follow you around, taking notes on your every word and deed. Some of your friends are monsters; other are daredevils and space aliens, flying monkeys, animals. How can you live with that kind of situation?
People just wanna see a show. They want to be entertained. How can you do that when hecklers criticize your every move? How can you do that when they won’t let you fly and soar as you were meant to do? They give you a broom stick, ordering: “Sweep the floor, green thing.”
You are meant to be a star, to soar into the heavens! Yet, they fight you every step of the way. They hold you back because you’re not like them. You’re different. You do not want to be a mere puppet on strings of their demands. Fly for me! Do magic for me!
So, you try to fly, and still you’re not their favorite. Someone always comes along with Raven hair and a beautiful voice from over the rainbow. You feel disconnected. All the adoring fans have gone to her, their “Pretty”. Oh, on how you want to get her, their pretty! My pretty. I’ll get her, and her little dog too. What’s its name? Frollo or Rollo or Ralph or Barkley.
You had a dream. You wanted to build it all up. You wanted to establish a media empire. An emerald city to which all would flock. But no one understands. They only see the times that things go wrong; the times when people get hurt on the set through no fault of your own. You tried to be careful; you tried to avoid accidents and mishaps. In this industry, no one wants to break a leg.
Yet’s what’s done is done. She’s as good as dead.
We might as well. She would have wanted this. She wanted to feed the masses in one way or another. This is the best way, at least at this time.
Don’t be shy everyone. Have another slice of Miss Piggy Ham Sandwich!
