Nobody Has Caused Me to Care

Sometimes I feel like drinking.

Sometimes I feel like having sex with multiple partners.

I don’t feel like doing ‘what is right’ sometimes.

Many times, I don’t feel like holding myself up to certain standards.

With every rejection that comes my way, it’s another reason to forget about finding a proper job;

It’s another reason why I don’t feel like being nice anymore.

The more dead ends I face and the more doors that shut in my face,

the more I don’t feel like trying hard any longer.

I’ve asked myself this a lot now: “Why make much effort when no one wants you?’

I have thoughts of something drastic.

Since I am constantly pushed aside or mistreated, I don’t see why I should contribute to anything.

Nobody has caused me to care.

I wish badly that I could drink so I actually don’t talk down on heavy drinkers even when they are violent.

I am not one to think that adult performers or other sex workers do anything bad as I sometimes wish I could do the same as them.

I can’t say what draws me to those two risky behaviors in particular; they just do.

Please feel free to email me: debbie.chow1987@gmail.com

Have a wonderful day.
