Love Poem: Unattractive

Unattractive

Male advances make me feel attractive 
but I hate male advances 
I wonder why no one gives me 
any chances to love 
or to be loved
so I feel ugly inside 
even though my outer
appearance can easily hide it
the pain never really subsides
I promote productivity 
and each and every day
I give all I can give 
but I grow cold inside
because love still doesn't 
reside where I live.
Green lights turn to yellow
and yellow turns to red
and I worried that I'll never
find love before I am dead.
