Glancing at the pigeons and passerby
I sit in a nook of the main square
A chunk of charcoal and some sheets of papers
A penny for your portrait ?
Once upon a time,
I used to play with colors
Paintings of animals, birds, people and trees
Beautiful they were but not the name behind it
I followed the footsteps
Of those whose art pieces hung in the museums
For a few more coins
I sold my soul to the Hades of imitations
Finally, the sound of clinking
But where was the salvation ?
The bread made my mouth sweeter
The heart grew bitter and bitter
The dreams are monotone
I paint the world on fire, I watch it burn to cinders
Somewhere inside me, I hear the devilās guffaws
I wake up to find it echoed further
A last effort for me to thrive
A last effort to find the light
Oh Sir,Madam; Pray, a little time ?
A penny, only a penny for your portrait ?

I agree with A.Prompt – well written and sad. But captures how hard life can be just to survive, with or without your dreams.
