"American Princess"
  by Remy82


It touched my heart just to see
How much you say “ You don’t understand, he really cares about me”

When he fills you up with words that you long for
You say “he’s like a father I never had”
Yet he pimps you like a whore

You want to be normal, that what you think as you close your eyes
That’s what you think when he kisses you on your neck
And slowly eases his way in between your thighs

Nowhere else to go,
At least what he got you to believe
Since day one it’s been a magic show with him
But I promise you he got more tricks up his sleeve

You just wanna be loved my darling
But I’m afraid you haven’t learned what true love is
He wants you to do anything for him
Even lay down with his “friends”

Then psyche you mind and tell
“if you do it for free, then why can’t you do it for money”
You close you eyes and then you cry as you allow him to sale your honey

Innocence sold, top dolla on the track
He got your mind so washed
All you can do is get money, as your dreams are sold you think
“ I can never get my life back”

He sits in his nice car and eats his finest cuisine
While you’re fed that funny candy with a side of broken dreams

I wanna just save you and bring you into these arms
But I’m afraid he will only con you again with his slick words and master charm

Back into his trap only for him to easily beat you and
To just throw you by the way side
Yet you still want to go back after he practically left you their to die

It’s hard to break free
It’s hard to let go of “the life”
It’s hard to let go of a man you call “daddy” despite the fact
That he puts you out on that street at night

America, America “the land of the free”
Free to whom I ask
Is it free to the young girl who is forced to make a living on her knee’s?

Is it free to the mother who searches every night for her 12 yr old princess?
No help from “Big Brother” just sits behind his woodened desk

“I’m sorry ma’am there’s nothing we can do” as tears turn to blood
It’s not just her heart that’s aching, it’s all of her insides and her tears
Turn to a flood

Where does it end?
When can these girls get their life back?
When can they stop being treated like criminals and be treated like victims
It’s self esteem that they lack!

Their beaten and drugged up and told never to stray away
Yet when they get caught up, they are sentenced to jail for 30 or more days

Young little women who believe this is the way it should be for them
Not realizing they are worth more than a $20 trick
They are TRUE GEMS!!!

Damn, I\'m not even afraid to admit this but this piece right hear made a brother shed a few tears. The title of it put so much emphasis on the poem you can only imagine. Strong and powerful message throughout this work of art. You know alot of people think when we fall we have to stay down and go to the slums and terrible way of life. Anybody can pay u for sex or whatever, but it takes a real person to actually sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk with you and actually realize you are a true...
