She works at night.
Trying to make ends meet.
Gets arrested various times for her illegal trade.
We sit and judge her highly like we all are better.

We know many like this.
Some adapted well to it.
But in this case the story is different.
Her child must eat.
And all jobs she seeks pays not enough.
So she works at night to succeed.
While knowing the ends means she be arrested by the police.

Truth be told she doesn't like this trade.
But it takes survival to survive a tough world of judgement.
And after her arrest than everyone's wants to help.
