Amber
You ran away at eighteen--
From youself and
From your tragic past.
You found yourself while
Dancing alongside a pole
With money all around you.
Never desired the way you deserved,
You became the epitamy of desire.
You spin, slip, and strip--
Lights flashing in your eyes
Making you glow for those alone.
You hide the deep razor cuts and
Bruises on your arms with heavy make up.
You put on the fake smile and
Play the part like a professional.
You act as if you're all he wants but
I know the truth that hides backstage.
You've been fucked over enough to
Know you have to fuck the world over.
May Dionysus be with you becouse
There is no way I could live without you.

You are the line, where poetry meets the raw and hard to look at. Thank You, once again, for your literary contribution.

I'm going to start off by telling you a secret to break the ice. I'm 27 and I have never been to a strip club! Don't tell anyone! Lol. Good write, man. Killer ending.

Really cool write. Question: I'm not understanding the Dionysus, god of wine, connection?

Well he is the god of sex and wine so I figured he'd be the one to watch over a stripper..also its kind of a joke I have with the person the poems about.

Not bad, not bad at all the only issue I have with this however is you misspelled because in the last line where it said “ May Dionysus be with you because” so other than that it’s pretty good
