Party of One

Michelle Ritchie 1981 (Aberdeen)



Tagged

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 f*ck
Want to be bent over and done
But people only f*ck me for money, so no luck!

About this poem

Got into trouble because of my previous drug addiction, career choice (or more like no normal persons career choice)
