So I have had an idea! Presenting....
The Assassinita!
Yup, she kills people. It's all in the name, y'know. She doesn't give a damn about the people she kills, because she's been in the business since she was five years old. I have to figure out the rest. I'm taking inspiration from this illustration, Who Killed Candy Destiny Star? by Ale Mercado. Actually, this picture holds much sentimentality for me. No, I'm not in the picture.
You see, in Kilkenny, the Arts Office created a publication called the Rhyme Rag, to showcase teen's poetry. This year, I sent in a little poem called Who Killed Candy Destiny Star? and it got in! Each poem is illustrated by Ale Mercado who is one of the best in Ireland and my poem was printed there, beside her elbow. I'll show you all the poem now.
Who Killed Candy Destiny Star?
Who killed Candy Destiny Star?
Why, and what's the reason for?
'I didn't kill Candy!' yelled her manager,
'I loved her like my own daughter?
She made me a living, and did whatever I said,
Some say I'm a tyrant, but I'm a clean-cut man
I'll miss her... and her money...
But I didn't want her to die; nobody did!'
Who killed Candy Destiny Star?
Why, and what's the reason for?
'We didn't kill her!' shouted the paps,
'Sure we loved her, her looks were our gain!
She may have loathed us and hated us,
But we were her ticket to fame!
Without us she was nothing, like all on the Hills,
But we didn't want her to die; nobody did!'
Who killed Candy Destiny Star?
Why, and what's the reason for?
'We didn't kill her!' wept her parents,
'Why would we? She's our own daughter!
When she shot to fame, yeah it was fun,
And so were the cars and the villas.
We may have pushed her, but we wanted what's best
But we didn't want her to die; nobody did!'

Why, and what's the reason for?

EEEEP! Thank you all so much! You know, my mam thinks C.D.S. is actually Princess Diana, and Adam Wyeth thinks it's Amy Winehouse. I have to admit, I didn't have anyone in my mind when I was writing it. What do you think?
