No name

 
Her hair was up in a ponytail
Her favorite dress tied with a bow.
She wanted to look her best 
It would be her first show 
Her nerves  turning her insides out
This is something she must do 
Her kids need food and some school shoes

She sips some congnac
Easing her nerves 
She looks out to the audience 
She wants to hurl
Men and women smelling of booze and cigars
There all over each other
Oh my god 
Why did life take me to such a place 
A strip club with men and women 
Lusting over a pretty face 
Throwing dollars sometimes more 
Just to see my goodies? Damn I feel like a whore
I just want to feed my kids 
Why must I go through such lengths 

This bow and dress must come off 
I'll throw on a trench coat and nothing else 
Why waist a pretty dress on such tasteless 
Men and women just looking for a fix 
I'll just close my eyes do what I must 
Feed my kids and forget about this dump
