should i whore myself out for love?

should i sell parts of myself for crumbs of acceptance?

will that keep me happy? satisfied? how much can i sell before running out?

should i whore myself out for love?

laugh at jokes that aren't funny?

make witty remarks that make me want to kill myself afterwards?

the heart wants what it wants. approval. people. community.

people need people, they say.

whoring is fine. its terribly easy.

especially when you've perfected it over the years.

whoring is easy but how can you deal with the stench of yourself afterwards?

reeking of opinions that you don't actually hold. 

people you dont fully respect sticking to your skin.

how do you do it everday?

what do you do on quiet winter nights?

do you stare at the mirror to find nothing there or

do you open your little box of people?

do you arrange them neatly in increasing order of importance? 

how do you whore yourself out for love? can you teach me too? i just want to be loved
