Hoe:
A three lettered noun
Formally being a gardening tool
Informally speaking
It would be a prostitute
Offensively, a woman 
A three lettered word made out of
The insecurities of men
The envious women
Invented in a godless society meant to tear
Not only women but men down
Hoe
For my own desires and my own will
For the control of my own body
I am sexualised
I am seen as an object
Ridiculed
All from the fact that i've loved more than one person
My body count being higher than 5
For being comfortable with my skin
For wanting more than a kiss at parties
I am a hoe
Even though I am not a gardening tool
I am not a prostitute
I am barely even a woman
Yet I’m already classified

I was inspired to write this piece from hearing all the gossip and rumors in school. I hate the out of text context this word is used for and I want people to be able to understand that this word shouldnt define someone.
