Got all A’s, made the honor roll,
participated in many
extracurricular activities
graduated and went to college
worked part time to pay tuition
in a fast food restaurant
pay was insufficient
sacrificed her morals
became a stripper instead
in a striptease club
for far better pay
the sleaze in the club
eventually infected her
got addicted to drugs
conned into doing porn
ten years later no degree
a walking dead
drug addict
homeless in the streets
prostituting
to feed her addiction.
