hi, I’m a whore
but no, sex will never boost my self esteem
as I constantly slope deeper into depression
just because you think its my profession
to have a boy in my face having to look at his expressions
I still remember one of my first sessions
as he held me down and moved toward my midsection
saying “no” but that never stopped the progression
and I screamed every time I felt the compressions
I’ve learned when it comes to sex nothing can satisfy a man’s obsession
and now I can’t look in the mirror and not see the transgression
and no, sex will never "cure" my eating disorder
to think that cum would’ve eased
and when u whispered it into my ear did u know i was displeased
that no, I don’t like being squeezed or teased
hickeys both given and received
that maybe I didn’t care about the fact that u didnt like how i breathed
no, I think the only thing that mattered was if u achieved
you didn’t care about me and i felt so deceived
because u said u loved me until the moment I conceived
and no a girl’s reputation is not so easily retrieved
so no, sex does not in any way truely help or define me
I am not defined by the amount of time spent waiting for someone to be real
not equal to those who lie and steal
And I am blamed for having sex appeal
Ever think that maybe I can’t stand sexual ordeals
And no, I didn’t want the hickeys i so desperately tried to conceal
constantly trying to fit everyone else’s ideals
And maybe you should think a good deal
So that maybe you’ll understand that I’m just trying to feel
Things that to someone like me seem surreal
Like belonging, empathy and maybe sometimes love?
Hi, am I a whore?
