Message For All Prostitutes Poem by Allison Lyons

my heroes are prostitutes all the media has to say about them is their sleeping with people for money but do you ever stop to think about why they need the money? or if this was their last resort? as a child you dont just dream about becoming a prostitute. you do what you have to, its an indescrible pain to think of how many women cant forgive themselves for how many guys they've had to sleep with just to get through, just to pay rent, to keep a roof over their baby's head. my heart goes out to all the women who cry themselves to sleep because they feel objectified by a man. prostitutes get so much hate they get called every name in the book. they find it hard to love themselves because of their decisions. guys devalue their self esteem, they feel like they are just a sexual object correction i feel like i am a sexual object i am not proud of my decisions but i'll be damned if i let anybody make me feel ashamed of what i did. my heroes dont wear capes they wear what ever a man thinks is sexy
