I Defy You To Try It, Princess. Go Ahead. I Don’t Even Know How To Sweep A Floor. All I Know How To Do Is Use My Body To Please Others. I Was Sick And Alone With No References, Friends, Family, Or Money. I Was So Weak From Hunger That Even A Beggar Stole Your Himation From Me While I Lay On The Ground, Wanting To Die And Unable To Stop Him From Taking It. So Don’t Come Here Now With Your Disdainful Eyes And Look At Me Like I’m Beneath You. I Don’t Need Your Charity And I Don’t Need Your Pity. I Know Exactly What You See When You Look At Me. (acheron)

And One Wrong Outburst Or Word Could Be The Tiny Push That Causes Someone To Slip Over The Edge Into Destruction.

You Get Away With It And Then They’re Twice As Mad When They Realize How Bad You Really Insulted Them. Especially If They Mistake It For A Compliment When You Say It And Thank You For It. (bubba)
