I have been to jail

15 times and counting 

Most recently it was because I stole

A brand new 100-inch tv I didn’t get caught until

They tracked the tv to my “house” 

I live in a cheap tiny apartment alone

Save the dog that comes by when I am out

Of jail

I lie every chance I get

Everyone looks at me with the same look 

Looks of disgust 

Some form of hate or unlove

Telling me to keep my distance

No one wants me 

Except for one person

Proud of my skills

Happy to see my good finds

Always had my back

Until he couldn’t 

Until he was dead

I am quick on my feet

A genius pick-pocket 

I did learn from the best 

He stole everything he owned, everything 

Including me 

well, kind of 

I am his daughter
