Is It Me

Is it me 
Is it me that he sees
Is it me that he needs
Is it me that he wants to please
Is it me that he prays to God for on his knees
Is it me

Is it the way that I act
Or is it my eyes that have their way to attract
Is it the stride in my walk
Is it the slang in my talk
Is it me

Is it the curve of my back
Is it the ignorance that I lack
Is it my smile as to why he stares
Is it my unique style and the way I wear my hair
Is it me

Is it because I'm not a hoe
Is it the street knowledge that I know
Is it my lifestyle and flawless ways
Is it the ups and downs and rainydays 
We've endured....

IS IT ME

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.
