The Exotic Dancer

She is scantly dressed as she twirls and dances she dances on a raised platform with eyes staring Her clients mostly male partaking lagers and beers Her job involves dancing and teasing these clients In her eyes lies a dazed look like shes high on drugs She told her mama she had found work in the city After many years of empty searches she is working After many nights of sleeping on an empty stomach A friend introduced her to this and the money is good On the good nights some clients are very generous She recalls the way her Godly mother thanked God She hadn't given her mother the specifics of this job She knows this isn't what she ought to be doing She is trapped in a job she is really unwilling to do Her clients offer her money tucking it in her bikini She recalls her childhood as she swings on that pole Never in her childhood could she ever have dreamed She would end up becoming an exotic pole dancer Dancing as she was born as gentlemen cheered her on Never in her wildest dreams had she seen this coming
