Dancing With Tears (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 17)

1, 2, 3

1, 2, 3

I'm dancing with tears in my eyes

4, 5, 6

4,5,6

The water is giving me blurry sight

7,8,9

7, 8, 9

They fall onto my face

10, 11, 12

10, 11, 12

Partner, please give me some space

13, 14, 15

13, 14, 15

I don't think the count goes this high

16, 17, 18

16, 17, 18

I'm dancing with tears in my eyes

I'm twirling while I'm crying

I spin so fast they can't tell

My body moves so flawlessly

They don't know inside I'm in hell

So keep it going

1, 2, 3, 1

Let the movement keep flowing

2, 3, 4, 2

So they won't know I'm dancing with tears in my eyes

Press Stardom (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 17

It's like everything we do is for everyone to see

We might as well just film it and make a movie

Put it in the cinemas in 2D and 3D

Because we can't get a moment of peace

They're like paparazzi gaping through the cracks of our home

Even with the lights off we're never fully alone

 So we put on our shiny smiles made out of chrome

And pull out the stitches when no one's looking, that was tightly sewn

Only because we're not allowed to crack

We can't take that chance unless they turn their backs

Why won't they all just go away, take their bags and pack?

Maybe then we can continue where we left, get back on track

Camera smiles and red carpet attire

Come on baby, let's sell it to the highest buyer

We made it this far, straight through the wire

Don't let them know we're burning in the fire

Because there's nothing more that they'll love than a juicy story

Let's make this look good no matter how messy and gory

Because pain is how they get their glory

Don't let us become their latest quarry

I got the inspiration for this poem through a random words generator that gave me the words "press" and "stardom". It seemed perfect since I'm also obsessed with Pop Culture.
