Don't Ask!
My age - you won't believe me
My weight - it's on my driver's license and you don't look like the police
If this is my natural hair color - I don't remember
What religion I am - what does it matter we all pray to the same God
What I do for a living - it pays my bills
What political party I belong to - they may not always get my vote
How I feel about the death penalty - it's a necessary evil
What I think about abortion - you wouldn't like my answer
The current state of the economy - the credit is killing us
Me for a cigarette - I haven't smoked in years
Me to lie for you - why would I put myself in that position
Me what I think - unless you can handle the truth
Me for money - its already spent
Me to return your feelings - unless they are genuine
Who I love the most - if you have to ask its probably not you
Me to wake up - it's my day off, now go away and let me sleep
Me to go with you - unless you truly enjoy my company, and understand the risks
Me for forgiveness - that's Gods territory
Me if you look OK - if you have to ask, you already know you don't
Me if it's spelled correctly - look it up, and use the spell check
Me to if I love you - if you don't feel it then I don't

Or if I'm from the hood.
The hood and the ghetto is the same thing,
and as An African
by Adisyn Lee
I can see it in their eyes,
as they approach me in that way.
Looking to find the right words,
for a comforting thing to say.

Don't ask me why,
I will not say,
Don't look at me that way,
Or I'll turn the other way.
You speak I listen,
You lead I follow,
But
by HL Moran
Don't ask why things bother me
that I never noticed much before
Too loud music, too short skirts
