A question for all you guys!

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!
