My life parallels to that of a revolving door,
Inviting everyone in, without my consent
I yearn to escape this continent,
But like a newborn, I'm deprived of my
option to choose,
I'm immobile, like a tree grounded in
its roots,
My feelings aren't considered when I ache
to rest,
She's selfish
But regardless of circumstance, I prepare
for action,
stretch, exercise my muscles,
trim my hair, bathe in perfume,
no dress, my natrual being is to beautiful,
All for an act that degrades my confidence,
I'm important, her protege', a prized possession,
My presence is costly, but guilt in her
confession,
And still my voice continues to be mute,
I'm hurt and swollen from nights of being used,
She injects me with poison to increase my desire,
For his touch, his kiss, to soothe my fire,
I drip with emotion, unconsciously providing
his request,
accompanied by his friends, leaving me to marinate
in disrespect
And this morning...I'm sick,
Waiting for this medicine to kill what they left
behind,
Angered by her actions, numb to her cries,
Because I know tomorrow....
My life will parallel to that of a revolving door,
Inviting everyone in,
without my consent
Author notes
It's a metaphor. I tried to make it easy uncover the diguise of it. Inspired by someone that was once in my life. And yes, it is regarding prostitution.

I am sorry some of your life was difficult like this. Don't be afraid to admit what you did or who you were, as it was who we were and it made us stronger. I never have been a prostitute and I hope to god I don't have to resort to meassures such as, but I know some people who have and I don't hate them... More do I want to help them and make sure they are safe and their life is on the right track now... Such as yours I hope yours is too.

Hi! Love the idea of this contest. But this was not about me though. I was about my ex-bestfriend. We fell off because of this situation. But thanks for the opportunity to enter!
