#100peoplepoems part 23: Amber Rayne

In Memoriam

(And shame, as always, on the Daily Mail)

There’s nothing wrong 

With “porn star”. 

It’s a badge 

You wore with pride. 

And it made you

No less deserving

Of the support

Belief

And love

We show survivors.

And it made you

No more deserving

Of the censure

Disbelief

And hate

We show survivors.

There’s nothing wrong 

with “porn star”

But your epitaph

Should at the very least

Have included

Your name.

Amber Rayne
