False Portrait

For how long should you possess her Mold her in someone she's not For how long should this stage act last Can't you see she can't be the "god almighty"you want to create from her She's only human,nice in her own imperfect way She can't live up to it anymore, playing the perfect part to impress you! How long can she nourish her body to the extent of your imaginative extended dreams? like she was a barbie made of plastic ready to please you! being the contentment of your erotic urge desire. For how long should she not bear her children, her own flesh and blood just to remain your perfect bimbo to remain faithful to your expectations Can't you see your selfishness is killing her you're sending her away to the Unknown without no sense of regret in her heart that may darken her soul Why can't you love this creature,without transforming her in This and that and they and More! She's slowly dying like a a wild autumn flower everything radiant and glowing within her is fading away. For how long this false portrait,this fake pretence just to please one man,her man You are destroying her! but she doesn't have a choice nor does she has a voice! You made of her a queen so you manipulate her like a king, NOT LEAVING HER SPACE TO LIVE HER DREAM She just wanna run away to her gutter ,be sweet cindirella once again. Your jealousy,your power Your eyes like a hawk on her following every step she makes Stealing ,devouring her freedom like a pirate at rough seas You're making her run away leaving the shore to find new lands, Better lands, Secret lands For how long should she wear the mask of smiles when deep in her heart you find only cries Once so much in love with you ,now resentment can be seen in her once glittering,now lifeless brown eyes. She begs you one last time to love her for who she is Fed up of being the girl in high heels slinky skirts,perfect portrait-false portrait just wanna be herself,dressed up in her blue jeans running on white sands feeln its warmth under her soft feet feeling the wind breeze caressing her face the waves hugging her waterdrops so fresh on her tender smooth skin while she plays with dolphins in vast seas. why can't you love her for who she is Her heart now dying!her laugh now fading she sees you approaching her, waiting once again for demands there she goes in FALSE PORTRAIT,once again. -----------------------------------------------------------charma

The form of this writing is FREE VERSE and the 2nd line "mold" has an extra letter in it ... smile ... this is a powerful write here, Charmaine and if I were here I'd shoot him ... LOL ... well, not really but I'd never love anyone who wouldn't let me be myself. Great write here and Congratulations on its selection to be a feature this week!!

Stunning write...If he won't accept her for who she is then he is definitely not worth it...She is never going to truly be happy pretending to be someone she's not...She has to love herself enough and tell him to get going!!!I love the directness here and the tone you took from beginning to end...Nicely done. Congrats on the feature, GB Always, Tyesha

Charma, You hypnotized me with joy and pain. I felt as if you were my daughter's voice talking back to me. I wanted to shout "I love you, honey" I just don't want you to be a mess the way I know the world can be. I want you to be your own, but the best of me. I would let go, but you are too young to walk alone. Powerful write, I am provoked by it. Love

Wow, Charmaine, this awesome poem says so much! Even if you tried to change to please someone, they would never know the real you. And surely they would be missing out on a lot. I love the honesty and conviction you convey in your work! OUTSTANDING!!
