An Eye For A Dime

An Eye For A Dime

A Poem by Frantzou
"

Would you shed your true color to make it?

"






























Behind the [GOLDEN] screen they stand unseen


I get on the HOT seat bluntly


 The applause expend creating a scene


Shedding my true color, forlorn of all hopes


Painless I shed deeper…Deeper to the crust…


I look around in despair but nothing is there


The applause stop!


They turn away


Now the PAIN begins…

Author's Note

Frantzou
Women sacrifice their bodies just to make a world that doesn’t give a crap about them happy. When they have nothing left to offer the world, It will turn its back on them, then pain will begin.

Featured Review

this is a complex poem though it is simply written. You are very correct about how the world see many women. I don't want to be remember for my beauty. I want to be remember for my creativity, my poems, my love, my kindness, my uniqueness, my sarcastic spunky fiery side. Thank you for writing this poem. It was wonderfully done.

About
My style of writing poetry is a little different. My poems mostly inspired by photography, and music. A picture is worth a thousand words and I love find the words within the photo. Frantzou Fleur.. more..
