beauty means nothing
to those who would use us
satisfaction for their senses
is what they take from us
all used up
then hastily disregarded
not the first time
nor will it be the last
abusers know no different
victims of having been easily trashed too
I Write Her 
Thank you for raising awareness about this serious topic, Susi!
