She' s A Lady

By Malcholm Dark

She carries a straight razor close at hand
She is tough as nails, she can make a stand.
She hides her emotions inside her sleeve
She is one of a kind, this I believe.

She weathers the cold, you can see her breath
She keeps her strength up with a gram of meth.
She's attracted to strength and wears a frown
She dislikes the fool, she will cut the clown.

--She's a lady, you had better speak right
you will get cut up, she knows how to fight.
--She's a lady, and buddy there's no guessin'
I have the scars to prove it, a well learned lesson.

She works the city streets, mainly downtown
I worship from afar...
                                         for I am the clown.

    Good poem! I know somebody that fits her to the T. The ending floored me. I really like this. Wish you all the best.

    At one point after reading this, I imagined a clown and a hooker on Maury trying to find the baby daddy haha. "She hides her emotions inside her sleeve" perhaps the same place she's keeping the razor? Worthy prose yet again, write on. Scholar
