Why - A Poem
why
when u look at me what do u see?
a beautiful black woman that is me.
why do i have to struggle to make a single dolla?
why do these men on the passenger side want to holla?
why do u treat me the way you do?
why do u have to lie? be honest be true.
why do i have to see the pains of life?
am i pretty enough to be somebody's wife?
why am i feeling so sad?
I guess cause all the people i come across treat me bad.
