“Pray for her.” They said,

“She’s really struggling with temptation.

You see, she let a boy touch her-

Down there-

While she was sleeping on a bus on vacation.”

“Pray for her.” They said,

“She’s really struggling again.

She thinks she has to sleep around

To get attention from a man.”

“Pray for her for real this time.” They started again,

“I’m afraid she’s lost the battle

At the devil’s crooked hand.

She went out driving at 1 am-

As always not alone-

And let a boy hold her wrists down to get inside her-

Wow, she really can’t say no.”

“I'm not sure why

I have the inexplainable urge

To tell everyone I come in contact with

That I'm dying”
