red letters say: WHORE

By manunkind

Must give in
Give up
Good for nothing
Not even love
My mind
A favorite critic
You will be
The downfall
Of me]
You the poets
Me the little girl
The little girl
Walking and talking
Amongst giants
Five times my size
Five times more wise
Me?
I call myself a poet?
A poet?
Hah.

Laughter
Pain disguised as laughter
Tears befriending a happy guise

Bitterness

I tell such happy lies

Such happy thoughts
Happy?
Hah.
Never happy.

Blood bitten scars
From a time I
Could take no more
Red letters say:
WHORE!

Carved upon my chest:
WHORE!
Attention
WHORE!
If my cunt could talk
It would say:
FUCK.


FUCK
FUCK
FUCK
FUCK!

But it cannot talk…
And I cannot write
And I will never…
NEVER see the light

Jealousy
Heresy
I’m embarrassing

  • A former member wrote: Psst...just so you know. I'm still intimidated. I actually wrote a poem about it also...just not so blunt because...as you said...it's embarrassing. But just so you know, you're not alone :)

  • A former member wrote: I really like this though. And I enjoy all of your other works. Don't give in to the intimidation. It's just the little voice inside your head that wants you to fail so it can be right.
