Lip Gloss and Bruises

So I put on my lip gloss
The color of red
And I cover my bruises
And the hope that I’ve bled
I pick up my purse
walk out a strangers' door
I escape everyday
Looking for more
To fill my battered heart
I’ll need more than a dream
Intently I’ll listen
As I hear myself scream
As I stand here in pieces
with a smile on my face
I am concealing the truth
in a dress made of lace
and all I have
to claim as my own
is my lip gloss and bruises
and a heart turned to stone
my body is used
and I’m barely alive
but I do what I have to
in order to survive
the streets are my refuge
I know not of a home
With my lip gloss and bruises
I stand here alone.

Wow!
It's writen with a great artistic flair.
Hope it's only writing as it's heart wrenching.
I hate to hear of anyone not having a home as I'd want to move um all to my house aand it's not big enuff.
This write is a masterpeice in it's own right.
I watch lotssa t.v. while here writng, commenting etc. I know there many out there without homes in the elements and it breaks my heart.
luv, huggs,
eemy |

| I understand how you feel even though my city expirience did not totally put me out on my own. I cover some aspects of what i have seen and gone through in my song "Here we go again" |

Wow, that really moved me. You are very gifted to be able to write in such a way. To be able to capture the images and feelings of someone in that position. It's almost as if you have lived that life or know someone who did.
Interesting... |
