Dilapidated Diva
Broken Down
Broken Proud
She feels like a flat tire.
A dying fire.
Broken heels on.
Torn sequin dress.
She's a dirty mess,
but she's still ready to be in front of the cameras.
She can still pull herself together to look fabulous.
Blonde Hair and red lipstick,
forgetting where she is,
but she still can work it.
In her dirty state and cracked out face.
She works it down the runway, everyone screams her name.
She's run down and still proud.
Even though the plastic surgery in her face doesn't leave a trace in her place.
She's just another Dilapidated Diva!
Just like they all turn out to be!
And for all to see!
It works well! I can picture
It works well! I can picture that totally ! :) good work!
Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS
"Well, it's love, but not as we know it."
Reminds me of so many movies
Reminds me of so many movies that tell this sorry tale. Loved the imagery. Good!
...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."
"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
Thanks
Thank you. I got the idea from picturing in my head a really cracked out and run down looking Marilyn Monroe or Elizabeth Taylor.
