in need of assistance: blind to the truth

screwed dimensions of necessity have her
hair and nails tight
her breathing erratic
three rolls of love handles where her waist should be
waisting away
dollars spent on the finest fashions makes no sense
when she might not be able to walk from her house
to her benz without inhaler assistance
screwed
she blames "the man" for keeping her down
her man for sleeping around
her dad for never being around
and her momma for smoking her life away
she blind sides the mirrors avoiding her own glances
has issue with everyone
has her nose in everyone's house
and hires a maid to clean her own
but she's not the problem
what's the matter can't be her!
blames the pastor for leading his people astray
while she adds more ashes and passes the plate
never adding always detracting
and women's always got to have her shit together
got her nail and hair appointments filled ever 2 weeks without fail
never misses that appointment
lets her blood pressure run mile high
her sugar levels go unchecked unless haagen-daaz is hitting up next
screwed
but it aint her fault
her outside's almost together
but she can't get or keep it together
screwed dimensions of necessity got a sista looking for herbal and
sexual remedies if only she could find a man
who could deal with all this woman
if only..
