The spotlight
She's surrounded by many yet still all alone
She dances until all of the lights come on
Even though she sees that everyone is gone
Roaming around on the cold dark street
Her skin milky white just like paste
Smoke filled lungs leaving a bitter taste
A soul with potential just going to waste
It's just the same old story night after night
Removing her clothing in the spotlight
Shouting bend down girl and get to working
As she danced on them she began to cry
Now I believe I won't ever leave even if I try
It's not our fault that this is your sorry fate
Though it continues to add to her demise
She continues dancing for all of those guys
She'll dance under the spotlight
Wow !
Sounds like everyday life for too many ladies of the night...
Great poem, very well written, thank you for sharing. =)
Thank you sir 😊
Hey @kristyyd, if you want to, check out my latest post, I have some problems with discord, or discord has problems with me... Not sure in what order...😊
It's awesome dear!😁
Very powerful, albeit a sad story.
It made me think of The Police's Roxanne and one of my favorite movies: John Cassavetes' The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976). If you ever get the chance to check out that film, watch it ;>)
Thank YA Vincent 😁😋will do 💝
Wow, this was heavy. I was totally sucked into the flow and felt my heart tightening. Great work.
You're a sweetie thanks 💞😁
Damn...this one was so sad...hopefully your fictional dancer character finds her peace someday.
Thanks my dude 😁😘
Wow that was intense. Really sad but you captured the emotion of it really well.
Thanks bud 😋💕
This is so sad. Unfortunately often true.
Yet you turned it into a well-paced powerful poem.
Your image selection was spot on, too.
