The big Britney Spears news of the moment (aside from her recent collaboration with will.i.am) is that her long-awaited memoir, The Woman In Me, is on the way. Fans may remember, though, that at one point, Spears was also working on a poetry book. Well, it looks like that project may still be alive, as Spears just shared a new poem and indicated it's part of a larger forthcoming project.
She captioned her Instagram post from last night (July 27), "A tease [smiling devil emoji] for a little project on the way !!!!!! Whose readyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !!! Had to do the yyyyyyyy because for some reason my sister does that on her gram !!!!!! Love [hearts emoji] y'all !!!"
The poem is then presented as a text slideshow video, and it addresses her conservatorship and family. Some lines address conservatorship complains Spears has voiced before, like this excerpt: "We want to see your face / We want to see your face / I want attention at my pace / And have a car, and leave this place / I never cried not one time / I worked 10 hours a day / 4 months a slave / No days off, and no you can't play / No door for a room and watched me / changed, watched me shower / But each week I got flowers / from a grocery store / To show color adored to feel young again / and maybe more."
Read the full poem below.
"In the middle or did you get 'em?The thieves are little,They serve like skittlesThe pain no walk, we say when you talkThe pain no walk, we say when you talkMy feet, Jesus tell me whyYou know I move when I'm aliveThey took my feet, demoralizedEmphasized my face, they wanted my mindWe want to see your faceWe want to see your faceI want attention at my paceAnd have a car, and leave this placeI never cried not one timeI worked 10 hours a day4 months a slaveNo days off, and no you can't playNo door for a room and watched mechanged, watched me showerBut each week I got flowersfrom a grocery storeTo show color adored to feel young againand maybe moreIs this even legal?Where's a needle, is this a joke?No days offAnd my family knows so lowso lowso lowMy family says soWatched me bathe, sit down behaveWe ask the questionsWe're here to save youSave me from what?Save me from what…Edge of reason to feel alive,Insanity steals most heartsMost cryI should have died I'm not gone li eHow I made it. ******* surpriseInsanity reveals realest eyesBorn I won't even tryMy feet look down I wanted to runSpirit out of body, the pain I was done inElevate elevate, it came out of bodyIt touch the ceiling, it wasn't a hauntingIt was pain, looked upGod for sureHe knew I knew, so I flewIt didn't feel normal, but what is normalI say it again, what the **** is normalThey broke my faceJesus, my right handIf I could back in timeI'd find my right handI'd ******* kill'emBecause I took a standShow them where I'm fromDo you think they'd smile again?And be so comfortable with me and grinI'm so kind, I'm for freeThink again my friendsThink againI'd murderPut a smile on my faceTo save my grace I'd kill'emWhere are you from ???Where are you from ???Things make you go'HMMMMMMMM …'Is it a name?
