Analysis of Party of One
Michelle Ritchie 1981 (Aberdeen)
Got an anklet that keeps me home
Not allowed out after 8
That's why I'm writing this poem
Can't even go on a fucking date!
I'm not going to lie
I'm a prostitute
Struggling to get by
Never mind selling my arse can't even cross the threshold with my foot!
So I'm having a party of one
Gagging for a fuck
Want to be bent over and done
But people only fuck me for money, so no luck!
