in the light…
sparkling glitter
painting red porcelain lips
soft smile, rosy cheeks
voice of an angel
fallen from the high heavens
golden harp in hand
a powerful soul
crushing expectations
shattered records left.
in the shadows…
pearly drops of blood
spill from cracked lips of raw skin
tears drip on bare floor
a hoarse voice destroys
her self-worth; mic thrown aside
i can never sing
nightmares crawl in dreams
fear of disappointing fans,
being forgotten.
