I wrote a poem about how modern dating makes me feel

Dear men,

​

I know I told myself it didn't hurt,

That when you disappeared

I didn't feel like dirt.

​

I know I said I'm fine

That you don't want to be serious

Otherwise, I feared you would never be mine.

​

I know I played it cool

That you made me  feel uncomfortable

Just say yes, that's the rule.

​

I know I had to give more

That you then valued me less

In the darkness, slipped out the door.

​

I know I was playing too

That we both are just in a game

Did I even want you?

​

I know I feel hurt

That you make me question my worth

And I do feel like dirt.
