here am i again, posing for
a camera i do not know
I am a model,skiny as i am
full of hell and getting paid
from men and women, who's cluttered
muddy minds, stare at me
My thoughts are mine, into my journal
i forever climb as i sip and sip on this
glass of red wine, as i write i cherish
my personal time
I sit and i glare as they pose me with some flair
deep inside i really don't care, i get paid for
what i no longer care
They turn me to my left and turn me to my right, as
they do this my personal demons i really must fight
I fight for who i am and who i am i must fight, i dwell
into drugs, to numb my spiritual pain, all the money i get
paid, what have i really gained
I smile and i pose with my sweet eyes i must always close
each day runs into the next as they snap the camera's i sleep
and rest
I looked into that picture and that is what i see, a sad face
a sad soul, losing her personal goal

You've been hood-winked!
Oh this is very good! A good interpretation of modern life and keep writing, work like this is valued very much!

HOOD-WINKED!
A different look at fame I guess. Same thoughts on the punctuation, but it's still interested.
I liked your phrasing, "muddy minds."

I didn't know this was inspired by a pic at first. I think it's a great story to go with the pic that the contest provided. Your internal rhyme is strong. I think this was a great idea for a poem, showing truth behind the glamor. Good stuff. --->pixxie<---

Oooh Ring ON sweet Misery!
I loved the spiraling effect of this piece. Really made me FEEL the misery in the life of as seen on the face of the woman in the graphic. Nice work. I liked this s great deal. Best of luck in this contest. ~Pam

The life of a model is not always glamor is it,
you have played this out well within your words
sometimes we don't always like the reflections that stare back at us out of our life choice.
Thank you for sharing and drawing from the picture
