casting couch (Free verse) by darby pyn
Worn torn skirt with a trying smile she looks
so out of place. an actress with a permanent thorn
she keeps to remind her of her place. slouching
on the couch in a stranger's house forced
conversations and cocaine conclusions I have
no delutions no more she says. soar from the binge she
cry's and cringes face to face with her tears
face to face with her years. breaks all the mirrors
she loves her bad luck she's never surprised she
knows that she's stuck. prod and brand a one night
stand like the back of my hand I know your plan.
I play the role of a defeated soul and watch your
confidence take control. ego with a smile, the
tragedy of faith, the opposite of grace the
attention misplaced. I have no delusions repeat
and remember I'm never surprised I never
surrender.
