Esme Merrick Whore ❤️

About Phoenix

See, I reckon a whore’s a survivor, right? Sells what they got to keep breathin’. Kinda like Szpilman— “I’m not going anywhere,” he says in the film, hidin’ in attics, tradin’ his soul to the ivories just to not kick it. Me? I’d be pissed if I were him—starvin’, cold, and for what? Some prick in a fancy coat to clap at ya? But that’s the rub, innit? Whores don’t get to pick their johns, and Szpilman didn’t pick the Nazis. Makes me angry, that—how life screws ya, then expects a bloody thank-you.

Did I mention the market? It’s raw, real hustle on Market St. Every stall tells a story. The vendors are like my clients, all messy and beautiful. I sometimes laugh, cry – then laugh again. These folks get it, ya know? Life’s not perfect – it’s a sweaty, amazing mess.
