Little is known
About who she was,
Just a face,
A body
Haunting the sidewalk,
Forced to sell
The one thing
That was her's
Over and over
Again.
When she had arrived

Full of dreams
And confidence,
The small town girl
With big town talent,

The world
Would soon be
Beating on her door;
But she trusted
The wrong man
Who drugged her
And beat her
And sold her
To break her
Fine spirit;
And now
She lies dead
Upon a trash heap,
Another nameless tragedy
That is already
Forgotten..
