an ottava rima

She

by AlvinTEthington

She hates herself for what she has to do;
She has to feed her family some way.
She sells her body and she feels so blue;
She wishes feelings could just fly away.
Emotions she desires she never knew--
Upon her heart drug dealers and pimps prey.
She wishes love could sing and give her fire;
She's caught in this wrong trap of man's desire...
