 A Stripper's Life


Every night she set's
And stares at herself
In the mirror

Shame masked behind
Her soft velvet hazel
Eyes

Duty bound to provide
For those that who are
Dependent upon her

With music playing, body
Swaying taking the stage
With he confidence of a
Monarch just crowned

Her mind floats away to
It's safe haven, away from
The leers and sneers

Feeling of being at their
Mercy as each piece of
Clothing takes its place
Beside her on the stage

Performing she wraps
Herself in her truth as
She thinks of her
Children
