Set The Scene: November 25, 2003.
She sits and lights a cigarette
A man is watching, not moving yet
She drinks her rye and barely flinches
The same man watching, gaining inches...
Moving to her, she prepares
But he gets through her daring glare
He approaches her raised hand
He tries to speak, she takes her stand
"You don't want me,take my word.
Think I'm cute? Yeah, that's absurd.
I've done thingsyou wouldn't think.
I'm insecure and so, I drink.
You see a body,think I'm hot?
That may be true, but "lady" I'm not.
Think you could tame me? Think again!
I have ruined many men.
I've almost married, carried a child,
I've done things lame, and totally wild.
I find women attractive, I smoke and I curse.
Think those things are bad? I've done lots that are worse.
I've tied people upand hit them with leather...
"The man rolled his eyes, she said, "Wait! It get's better!
I've left people with scars, I've slit my own wrist.
I've been depressed, are you getting the gist?
I'm funny at times, at others, I'm not
I'm smart as all hell - Then have absense of thought.
I'm obsessive compulsive,I have ADD...
Yet, sometimes surprisedat my own sanity!
I take stupid risks,I set myself up.
I'm just a small girl, but I love acting tough.
I know everythingand I'm never wrong.
I get through a bad day with a good country song.
Can't you see, babe? I'm a big contradiction!
Sometimes my lifeis a great piece of fiction!
...I get drunk after work, I wear P.V.C.,
I swear I'm in love with my identity
...I'm dependant, high maintenance, I'm sweet and I'm witty,
Most people sayI'm classically pretty.
I'm a lot for one woman... Why would you want this?"
He shrugged his small shoulders and saw her as bliss.
"The world didn't want me, boy, why should you?
Trust me, I'm a test you shouldn't go through."
She paused as she thoughtas she put down her drink
What in the world this poor boy must think.
"All this being said, nothing I've burried,
The weight of the world, I've happily carried.
You pretty well know me, inside and out.
You know what my lifeis wholly about."
"You can think what you will, about seeds that I've sown,
But now, my fair lad, I'm leaving for home."
He heaved a hard sigh, for didn't she see?
She was just how a woman was designed to be!
