me exposed

           
if i let you in            
give you a peek behind my facade            
i worry that you will lose interest            
             
these days i'm only sexy in my dreams            
time has not been kind to me            
or rather i haven't been kind to me            
years of drug & alcohol use            
shows on my face            
             
my soul is better for the experience            
pain has a way of creating            
the sweetest of wines            
a little heartache            
some loss to add spice            
             
you want to know me?        
            
nothing special really            
a girl from Cali            
i live in a small country town            
all bikers & cowboys            
             
we have bonfires            
drink plenty of beer            
& yeah i still draw the young ones            
             
knowing my days of beauty              
are behind me            
when one of them grabs my ass            
"i ask what is it you like about me?"            
they answer              
"i love that you're a crazy bitch"            
             
the other day a young one              
asked to read what i was writing            
i obliged him            
he said it made him hot            
looked at me a certain way            
that i no longer expect from a man            
             
made me nervous truth be told            
i escorted him outside            
it was thrilling & scary at the same time            
         
i guess people are drawn to my spirit            
because they still love to flirt with me            
& i'm known to do the same
