Painful Truths
The curtains held, you walk inside
What little comforts left behind
Music blares inside the room
Painful truths now all in view
Hungry eyes are all around
In hopes that what they seek is found
Girls paraded on display
Just trying to all pay their way
A heaviness felt on your heart
A different vibe right from the start
All victims each in their own way
Something … someone that makes them stay
Some there because it’s all they know
All mere acts in the same show
Others lied to, tricked, and forced
With no concern and no remorse
Caught in a system hard to break
Right from the start debts to be paid
Never knowing what’s in store
Just that it seems there’s always more
More money due more men to please
So many eyes yet no one sees.
