Do you look for me?
Do you know if I'm safe?

Tell them why I'm not at home.
Tell them why I sometimes leave in the middle of the night dressed up like a sassy french whore.
A whore with my long fake nails and my dark black makeup.
Why am I on the corner of the streets?
What would you say?
Would you care?
No. That's not likely.
But I love myself.

Hi there, well......personally i think you have written well here....and most beleiveably.
Not all poetry has to actually be about 'US' personally.......(if it were, I'd have died several times, be a murderer, a whore, in prison, etc etc etc........) But to write and when read ....if beleiveble to the reader.....then I consider that good writing.
Well penned my friend.

i think that this was a really wonderful poem and to write it reallt means that you feel soemthing toward it. This shows a talent and also a hole in the heart.

Well done.

Poetry is always a work of imagination, our experience, and our observations are the raw materials that our imagination uses to create.

You have created in a short space three characters, and a vivid situation. I like it
