Girls like us started early

We’re seasoned

Lifetimes, even

Conditioned

at a young age

Our vessels, God’s creation

Feast for the eyes

Performing is a reclamation

Healing for our own sake

Protecting a sister

from harm’s way in the future

Like led to gold

we transmute

Alchemy

Someone’s gotta control

these boys in suits

They don’t know how else

to process

So they pay for my presence
