She Missed That Class

"SHE MISSED THAT CLASS" "I'm tired of this life," she said. "I'm not going to do this anymore, it's not right and the last thing I want my kids to know about me is that I'm sick and disgusting," she said. "I know I need to change and today, I do. I've grown up," she said. "I just want to be left alone," she said. "if I open my flytrap for all these men, I'll find love and then get married," she said. "I know you're trying to help me but I just want to live my life and not be reminded how much of a whore I am," she said. "I know I have problems, I know I'm not doing things right and because of that, I've decided I'm not going to be this way anymore. yes, you're right, eventually, I'll catch HIV and then it's over," she said. I went out for a cigarette this morning. just outside the house was a used condom on the floor. "I'm not doing that anymore!" she proclaimed. "I know I've bumped my ugly with everyone I've ever known and met but I'm a changed woman," she said. I'm sure she is the epitome of truth. By: Chicano Eddie 4212017
