PUPPET

What do you think they did with the pictures they took of me? I wonder if they admired them. Got off to them. Objectified me with them like the whore I am. Ugly, fat Black girl. Who would want to see porn of me?

I’m nothing but their PUPPET. Their entertainment. Their doll. I smile for the camera and act like I’m not scared. I pretend I’m somewhere else (in heaven with all the angels, out in a beautiful natural landscape—an angelic meadow) and pray to a god that doesn’t listen that it’ll be over soon. I’m their good girl, who’ll do anything and everything she doesn’t want to do for their praise. That’s why they take their pictures. That’s why it’s me.
