I want to be a drug addict
Feel the needles pierce the skin
I want to be a hooker
Lose a piece of myself with every man
I want to be abused
Cover bruises with heavy makeup
I want to be a hobo
Blisters on my feet and stomach always grumbling
I want to be all those things you told me not to
Just to see what you'd do
Mommy, I want to be what you criticized
Just to see what you'd say
People don't mean to do those things, Mommy
Accidents happen, people make bad choices
I'll never be like them, but sometimes I wish I would
Just to see you eat your words

Honestly, no clue where that came from. Just came into my head and started writing itself, basically.
