The Male Gaze

 I can feel your eyes on me. They're burning me. You're imagining what I look like with no clothes on. You don't know me.

Your eyes just won't look away. I'm just trying to ride the subway. Please look away.

I feel your desire

I wish I didn't,

I wish you wouldn't.

Just

Leave

Me

Alone

I wish I could say it with my eyes, but if I look in 

your direction you'll think I want it

You will think that I like you objectifying me. Looking at me but not really seeing me. You see my skin, you see my shape, you see my looks 

But you don't see 

Me.
