May 2013
Is it something I have to buy?
Or do I have to wait in line for two hours,
And collect it like welfare?

Last time I checked,
We still had countries that sell daughters off
At the age of 14.
Was my innocence taken away from me?

A hundred years ago,
I would have been married with five kids by now,
And I would have had a husband who
Didn't really love me.
Do I have to earn my innocence?

I've been trading souls with people for the
Last three years.
Maybe by accident,
Did I take someone else's innocence?
