Why Not Me?

When someone does not think that you are  
Good enough, why not me? They choose
Someone else over you. The hidden scar
Is not visible enough. One sip of the booze
And they do not think you are loud or crazy
Enough. Why not me? The girl who is pretty
Enough, but not smart enough or is too lazy.
Why not me? The girl who loves both the city
And countryside. The girl who smiles too  
Much and laughs at everything, even the bad.  
Why not me? Apparently my sky is not blue
Enough and is too bright. Even when I get mad
And angry it is not good enough. Think about
It when you have that girl who has all of those
Qualities, but the girl who leaves you in a drought
Is the one you want. She is your pretty little rose
When I could be your whole garden. Why not me?
Darling, what is it that you cannot see?
