Sweet honesty
It's a bitch
The mirror is to shiny
It makes my eye twitch
Does this make me seem crazy?
Why do I feel like being so lazy?
Why do I need?
Why do I crave?
Why do I still want to go to a rave?
Why do I want to get high?
To make me forget, that's why
Growing up sucks!
Why do I have 3 angels?
Sometimes it's too much
28 they say I am
19 they say I look
11 is how I feel
Helpless
Arms flailing
Pushed under the water and drown
Forget the man
Now a mistress I have found
I want someone to understand me
Not just spank me over one knee
Hot wax on my leg
Please now, don't make me beg
Such a deep yearning
I hunger for more
I guess it's because my life is a bore
Punishable secrets have I
To myself I can't lie
Because it makes me itch
Sweet honesty it's a bitch
I recklessly hang over the edge
Into the other world
I hang onto a ledge
It appears beautiful and full of grace
But appearances are all I embrace
Reality is that it's horror and filth
Any goodness left, it will kill
Filthy whore, is that who I am?
Not anymore, I'm taking my stand
Filthy whore, is that what I've been?
Yes it was, till the light grew to dim
Barely hanging on
I won't be just a pawn
In the Devil's little game
I no longer have any shame
Perspiration and frustration
Why do I need this humiliation?
Why do I need leather and a switch?
Sweet honesty is such a bitch

great!
I absolutely love the bondage references. And how you describe feeling dirty and awful as a way to feel erotic and sexy. The part about the mistress and how easy they just throw us away. But I guess most relationships start with a test drive, even then some people get off on being the user or the used. I'm not going to lie or pretend that I've never been guilty of this. It's all just a good time (or bad on occasion) until you find someone who seems to be worth your time.

Thanks for reading! Glad you liked it. It's interesting you picked up on the 'age' part of it because it actually has a lot to do with the poem as a whole. Each of those ages represents something in the poem that the general reader would not know about... Good catch

Very Good
This poem paints you as a sassy, independent wench and thus not easily intimidated by the pressures that surround your life. Your words sting like a bee and your lines float like a butterfly....a woman to be reckoned with for sure. Good structure and verse.
