Am I the wrong woman because my hair is not silky or smooth? 

Am I not the one for him because he can't tell me what to do? 

Am I not the one he chooses because Im not from a foreign place? 

Or is it because my thighs are too big, or too small or between them there is no space? 

Am I the wrong one because I carry myself as a woman and not a gullable young girl? 

I can not be abused, misused, nor can I be played with as a toy. 

Is it because I dont believe everything he says is truth and pure as gold? 

Or is it because I require that his lies stay untold. 

Am I not the one because my lips are full and I dont meet the height, weight or color requirement? 

Am I too intellectual or am I too easily inspired? 

Is the problem because my love runs too deep? 

Or is it because it is not easy to get me into the sheets? 

What is the problem? 

Why can we not work? 

I know I am not perfect but there must be something that I am worth! 

Maybe my questions are rhetorical and beckon no response. 

Maybe, just maybe there is nothing wrong with me. 

Maybe YOU are just not the one !
