I Could Be a Whore
I could be a whore
if I had the chance
if I couldn’t write, or I couldn’t dance
I could be a whore,
if I were in your shoes
if I had more to gain, and far, far less to lose
I could be a whore
if I had mouths to feed
if they were sick and dying, had a greater need
I could be a whore
if I knew nothing more
if my life was blood let, behind a polished door
I could be a whore
but I’m glad I have a choice
to speak for those, who haven’t yet the voice
