Not a Rhetorical Question

Why am I not good enough?
Pretty enough?
Funny enough?
For one fun night,
For one hour of your time.
I like movies.
Is it so bad to ask?
What did I do?
What's wrong with me?
When the closest I get
is getting asked as a joke.
You think it's funny?
Tell that to the tears,
and the years of being self-conscious,
and the pain
of not being good enough
for just one date.
Why am I not good enough?
I just want to be wanted.
Am I asking for too much?
I'm sorry, I'll just go
and be alone.
