Yes that's what they call me
But it's really only a living
We all do something for money
Just wish they'd be more forgiving
The only thing I was ever good at
Not much at school but not thick
I'm in control of the path of my soul
And now I get paid by the trick
Yes it's a brutal existence
Sometimes I'm tempted to roam
But I can always rely on the family guy
Who's not getting any at home
Don't have a pimp, I fly solo
Some customers find this bizarre
I may be a whore, one at a time, no more
I won't do a ménage a trois
I know every inch of my ceiling
Each lump in the artex, each crack
You get quite the different perspective
When work hours are spent on your back
Yes my profession is dirty
At least I can say that I'm clean
Less can be said for the men in my bed
Not big on personal hygiene
I never look for compassion
I won't burden you with my ills
This morning this whore is mainly sore
But that'll clear up with some pills
I don't really care who you're hurting
As long as I get my pay
I'll let you do things your wife won't
And I'll sleep it off the next day
No family or friends to protect me
Just me in the valley of sin
Sometimes I feel that this cannot be real
Tears form but I keep them within
That's enough, here's the next lucky punter
Seeking frustration's relief
Don't call me whore, call me Lady
She's still here, and she's just underneath

@RichWithey Thanks fella yup it's sad alright. Tried to get down what I thought she might think of herself 😢😢 repost beers on their way 🍻🍻🍻 cheers amigo
@Fly10 thank u Leigh ❤ I did aim for hard or raw, hopefully it came across. 👍 Good to see a bit more of you here, everything shaping up for you, if you don't mind me asking? 🌹
This really was a mixed bag of emotions for me as a reader...it was open, honest, witty, sharp, yet sad and lonely...a superb write...capturing how life as a prostitute truly is...I don't care what anyone says but it takes balls and desperation to do what they do...the stories they must know...👏✨❤👏✨❤👏✨❤
@misslittleDHP Kim I'm very glad you found all those feelings in this piece. I was trying to get across what I thought she might think, but if you've found all that, then so much the better, and I thank you. ❤❤❤ And of course, 💋💋💋 for the repost hun 👍🌹😘
@sjw thank you sie, sad I think, was the main aim, with some raw thrown in. 👍❤ thank u for reposting hunny 😘😘
Of course I don't mind you asking! It's v.thoughtful 😘 Had to cancel hols earlier this year, & have managed to take a break now instead-hence me having a bit of time to dip into Opuss! All heading in right direction, but likely to be Jan/Feb before we can really start moving forward. At the back end of redundancy process, & although we've done everything by the book & been completely fair, I've been shocked at the tactics of some. We've had people stealing property (& I'm not talking paper & pens) & others infecting our entire IT system with viruses. Really is unbelievable when all we're trying to do is save as many jobs as possible. Worse part about it is, the people who have done it have already got other jobs to go to!! And yet others who are far worse off, have behaved with dignity & worked hard until last day. Human nature never ceases to surprise me, despite knowing some nasty people over the years. As always though, I consider my glass well & truly half full 😉 I'll be even happier when I can start to write again! Good to see you're still producing some amazing work Lee-ever in awe😙😘
@Fly10 you are too kind, lady, I'm the one in awe. 👍 Glad to hear its all going in the right direction hun, the spectre of redundancy is still hanging over my place. 😢 But I'm still working, so I count myself lucky. 👍 People are unbelievable, although nothing surprises me any more. Human beings are capable of absolutely anything, as I'm sure you're aware! Good to talk with you Leigh, and I look forward to when you spend more time with us, as I'm sure we all do. ❤❤❤👍🌹
