Why is this so?

I just wish i knew why.

Why do men tell me im pretty?

Then they take me for granted.

They always tell me what a good head i have on my shoulders.

Then they ignore me.

Why do men say hurtful things?

And then say they didnt mean it.

Why do men get your hopes up?

Only to let you down.

I really dont know.
I just dont know.

Sometimes i wish i did.
Sometimes i just stop caring.

I want to give up.
Then i want to try again.

Its a never ending cycle.
It confuses me so.

Its like a cryptogram.
The answer escapes your grasp.

Its like being lost.
And you dont have a compass.

I really wish i knew why men always think that i can get whoever i want.
Just because of my looks.

Im pretty but beyond that.
Most people just dont get me.

Or they dont want to take the time to get to know me.
Thats too much work.

They are too lazy.
So lazy that they dont even know that they are missing out on a good thing.

Scratch that a great thing.
Im not saying im perfect.

But im worth the chase.
Im worth fighting for.

Why cant men look beyond what they see and get to know me.
Why cant they approach me?

Why do they always want me from afar but not up close and personal?
I dont get it at all.

I have never been the most popular.
And im still not.

Im not the model type.
But im nowhere near ugly.

Im beautiful in so many ways.
Yet many men dont even try to see that.

They just criticize me.
And see what they want to see.

I just want somebody to love me for me.
And take the effort to get to know the real me.
is that too much to ask?
