From the age of eight, she learned early, that all she was good for was sex.
So -- she grew up believing the lie. Now all these years later -- they still want her, but only for her sex.
she puts out
when they push and pout
knowing they don't touch her
her heart is surrounded
kept safe in the blur
of movement
from tiger fur
the tiger lives deep in the heart
of the child she is inside
wounded and scared
she keeps apart
the only place to hide
so she puts out
when they push and pout
knowing they can't touch her
