I need to ask a question
To all you guys out there
For years this has been bugging me
And drives me to despair.  
  
Men seem afraid to speak to me
Though I’ve met them one time before
They make me feel like I’ve grown two heads
I don’t understand and I’m really unsure!

They laugh and smile with everyone else
And shy away in my direction
But as they pass, they discreetly smile
And that’s from my own detection.

I’m really confused and I don’t appreciate
When men speak to me, they look to the floor
Especially when they converse to others
Eye contact is given for sure!

I merely step back into the background
As I don’t seek too much attention
Why do men throw me a smile?
But at the same time convey me rejection.

A conversation, to be treated the same
Is all I’ve ever asked for
But as they engage on eye contact with me
Men throw me away and ignore!

I try to rewind the scenario
To see where I went wrong
I’m not a flirt but it really does hurt
When men can’t speak to me for long.

Do you think that you can enlighten me?
To why men treat me this way
I truly do not understand
And I invite you to have your say!
