Why Should You Choose Me???

Why Should You Choose Me

Why should you choose me
When so many others out there
Show everything they have to the world
So fast and freely without care

Why should you choose me
Knowing that I hold it all in
That I've dealt with so much loss
And have so much pain deep within

Why should you choose me
The girl who'd rather be outside playing ball
Than walking around with a Louie Bag
Or going shopping at the mall

Why should you choose me
Miss Independent -- who doesn't need YOU
Who holds is down working like a slave
Keeping three jobs, or at least two

Why should you choose me
To be your ride or die
That holds you down when no one else will
And probably wouldn't even try

Why should you choose me
To be right there by your side
Through thick and thin, no matter what
A love so great..you can not hide

Why should you choose me
The one with all the hidden flaws
That follows most of the rules
And abides by her own set of laws

Why should you choose me
And give up all the others in your stable
Am I worth beginning a new chapter?
Do you know what I bring to the table?

Why should you choose me
The one who prefers sneakers to heels
The one that has more guy friends than girls
That doesn't always tell you how she feels

Why should you choose me
You wouldn't understand it if I tried
To tell you in my own words...
So I'm leaving it up to you to decide!

Best way to get a real response, leaving it up to that person to decide.

Nice poem, as well.

Preferring sneakers to heels... that is so me

Nice piece!
