Do You Know a Linda

linda puts on her lipstick and brushes her blond hair pulls up her garterbelt and g-string underwear a black mini skirt and a shirt with no bra he buys her condoms and sends her off onto the night to the streets of new york linda finds her way to the track smiling and waiving to the tricks as they wave back horns blow people scream police riding around pimps on the prowl in search of their next ho slow money causes problems so linda gets desperate tells the trick she'll cut him a deal for a date little linda so young and nieve has no idea whhat this trick has in mind he pulls out a gun and points it in her ribs tells her not to scream and do what hs says he drives for an hour and leaves linda to wonder finally pulling into an empty parking lot linda knows whats next so she takes off all her clothes hoping if she abides he'll let her go he rapes her over and over leaving nothing to spare stripping away what little dignity linda has left leaving her in a pool of swet and busted nuts he tells her to get dressed and to never say a word with that it was all she heard he takes her back to the place it all began linda jumped out the van and ran as fast as she could her pimp finally finds her all soiled and a mess without hesitation he strikes her to the ground the beating continued in front of everyone what a way to end her night raped and beaten down linda crawls away to the comfort of her hotel room hoping and praying that the night was over for good she jumped in the shower and cleaned her wounds scrubbing away the blood and semen that painted her little body linda lies down to rest and tries to forget what occured this is the only life she knows and with it comes good and bad tomorrows another day

It's really a sad but compelling story you tell here, Brandy. And the worst part is that this iss "the only life she knows." Hard hitting and well written! Love, Carolyn

I hope someday you will write these down in a novel and make the world read and learn...this is commonplace for many and your voice is giving them light..a dark place it will be no more with your voice..your words are moving and inspiring...i am blowing you love, angel..keep on doing the righteous thing.
