Lisa The Pornstar

This a story of Lisa 
she was born In south of Nigeria
Papa was a young dealer 
her mama was high of Santa Maria.
Daddy said go to church everyday 
But the pastor was tryne get in her.
Put his tongue in her mouth 
When she told her dad He slapped her “Lisa”
Dumb girl Don’t be lying here 
She was dumbfound like mama 
They called the family pastor started deliverance on her matter
Took her back to the church and they left her home alone with that pastor 
20 abortions later she was filled with hate for her father.
Crying to God on her knees everyday 
and she looking for a single answer
Only silence came Took her bags and ran 
Then she ended in the house of a gangster
So wait 
They Told her she beautiful 
They Told her she really cool 
They Told her to take clothes off 
Let them photograph nudes
 Flashlight on journey to porn 
Heroin coke and the Molly she’s done
 Drowning in darkness Drowning in darkness 
There’s no light at the end of the tunnel 
How many nights unpaid 
How many nights of sex
How many nights of rape. 
She looks at the sextape and cries out

This for my sisters that been abused and live sad
Stuck with a memory of the past so they relapse 
This for my sisters that need God but feel bad 
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel so don’t give up 

Lisa became the biggest pornstar at 24
Fast money Fast Life 
lying on her pretty fours
No shame white eyes daddy’s girl was living raw 
Since he didn’t play his role attention was her daddy now 
The comment section and the million followers got needier 
She learnt this love ain’t real cos all they wanted was that nastier 
Gangbang threesomes she’s breaking every mirror
She gained the world and lost her soul the drug abuse was deadlier 
overdose and found herself lying in a hospital
A picture on the wall says “God loves you” and she’s crying out 
“Why did you leave me,” She wept
“Why didn’t you help me, you left”
She felt a hand on her shoulder and a soft voice say 
“Forgiveness was the answer 
Forgive your past first Forgive yourself next 
Pain is a guest That becomes entitled  
when you let it stay longer through shame and regret”

I hoped that Lisa got the happy ending that she deserved. I believe that many potn stars have been sexually abused and even trafficked.
