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.
