I Offer Me (Free verse) by leviathan
I offer my hand to thee If indeed it is salvation that inside your soul you seek I open my arms for thee to expose a heart designed to absorb your sin and deliver you from judgment of anything tainted you may have ever been I extend my hand to thee And offer a little bit of something I offer me Isolation within the confines of mourning can prove fatal I have felt its talons open my flesh And I beg you to run I have already lost my soul grieving something that never was But Heaven cannot afford to lose the beauty of yours For the world will cease to be if it ever does If you have any faith left at all then I am on my knees to beg of you Shed the darkness that has fallen upon you Turn your eyes from the faces of every secret demon And run like Hell before you my dear become a victim too I offer my faith to thee If you swear to never extinguish its subtle glow It is all that I have as all else has been taken And die I will if ever again my fragile heart is forsaken I offer myself to thee Smiling as I hope you find something to love hoping you find me Soothing words and a gentle touch Could hardly satisfy the dormant desires of a mourning queen Compassion and loyalty offer little consolation For a mind twisting with curiosity Honesty exists undesired as it makes life too monotonous to live Yet all these precious things Are the only thing I know how to give Even now I would die for one taste of your succulent soul One breath of the radiance that your heart exhales One chance to make everything you are every reason that I live But I am disfigured and do not shine like the rest I conceal scars from wounds inflicted by hate And sometimes I remember how badly it hurt Almost as much as knowing that no one was there to share the pain I swear by all that I am to offer you all that I have I promise to look for me until I am found smiling sweetly in the back of your favorite dream I commit my heart to you until it is so mesmerized that it bleeds For you I will suffer through anything to be everything that you need.

Up the ladder: I am a dream
Down the ladder: To What Ends

Prostitution certainly is an important issue.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM
CONSTRUCTIVE
WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS "NON-CONSTRUCTIVE PRAISING". IT IS 10 TIMES WORSE THAN NON-CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM BECAUSE IT JUST ENCOURAGES PEOPLE TO WRITE MORE WITHOUT IMPROVING.
