As God Is My Witness

WHAT LORRAINE THOMAS VOWED AT 14 THAT STARING OUT SOME WINDOW MONTHLY, ANTICIPATING A MAILMAN'S DELIVERY OF A WELFARE CHECK, WOULD NOT DEFINE HER FUTURE. ALREADY THE MEN WERE OGLING, WAITING FOR HER TO RAISE HER SKIRT.SHE DID HAVE A MIRROR IN HER MOTHER'S MODEST LOS ANGELES BUNGALOW, BUT SHE DIDN'T NEED IT TO REMIND HER OF HER EXCEPTIONAL PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES... QUALITIES SHE WAS CONVINCED WOULD FACILITATE HER ESCAPE FROM POVERTY AND ENSURE A QUALITY LIFE STYLE. AS GOD WAS HER WITNESS, SHE WOULD HAVE FINANCIAL SECURITY. AND IF SHE MUST USE HER BODY TO CARVE OUT A LIFE SHE FELT SHE DESERVED AND WAS WORTHY OF, THEN SO WOULD BE IT.HER GOAL WOULD NOT BE DETERRED, AND MEN WILLING AND ABLE TO AFFORD, WOULD BE WELCOME TO COME ALONG ON WHAT SHE PROMISED WOULD BE AN EVENTFUL BUT EXPENSIVE JOURNEY
