Dear diary,

''I know it's been some time but tonight I wrote a poem. You know how I'm angry at my own cursed fate right? This poem is all about it, how I'm a sinner with a pact with the devil and how nothing can bring me happiness. I'm so loyal to Jonah that it sickens me, I'm chained down to him and to this work. I feel disgusting and I know I am. I truly believe that loyalty is the worse thing inside of me, specially when it's paired up with my fear. It's nearly Christmas and I feel worse then ever, my happiness is drained. I hope one day I get away from all of it, I give up my loyalty to Jonah and get on a decent life.''

Love, Emma

Freedom Is A Mere Illusion

Trust me, a man said

As I laid down on a bed

Cold fingers touch my skin

I close my eyes and forget my sin



Reason tells me I do it for survival

But deep inside, I know it’s an illusion

I’m scared, this is frightful

My horror’s name is prostitution



With a demon I made this deal

Part of me prays this isn’t real

For it has bound me in iron chains



<p style="text-align:center;">The man calls me beautiful

<p style="text-align:center;">And from my eyes a tear slides

<p style="text-align:center;">An end comes to his delight

<p style="text-align:center;">And through bliss, I feel only agony

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Faithful to my word

<p style="text-align:center;">I ’ve kept it for years gone past

<p style="text-align:center;"> Doing this God awful work

<p style="text-align:center;">

<p style="text-align:center;">Ghosts tell me to leave

<p style="text-align:center;">My pimp is my demon

<p style="text-align:center;">He drags me to hell and I’m deceived

<p style="text-align:center;">By his sweet word
