Misconception
Misconception
Your misconception of who I Am
Your misconception of what I Do
Shows you know me not at all-
I was once a good girl like you.
I didn't sit around as a child and contemplate that I would become a prostitute one day.
Although my memories are kind of hazy I have a select few of childhood play.
All you see when you look at me is disdain, disgust or hate.
You only see me for turning tricks.
A bottom feeder looking for the best rate.
I want you to see me as a human who feels pain and pleasure and who bleeds the same as you.
I want you to look at me as a person.
And not for what I DO.
Unless you've lived a day in my life-
Could you possibly understand?
What it's like that in order for you to eat that you will have to sleep with a random man.
Your misconception of Who I Am
Your misconception of what I DO.
Shows you know me not at all.
I was once a good girl like you.
