Look At Me Damn You
I'm screaming, shouting, look at me
It's you I'm talking to
Not talking to the bloody wall
It's you I'm talking to
I'm screaming, shouting, look at me
Demand connect with you
Don't need connection with a wall
I want connect with you
I'm screaming, shouting, look at me
Do you not understand?
Importance of our eye contact?
Your look-away's - now banned

Gosh DoRoThY you're rhyming.....
DoRoThY - " the eyes, nose, ears, whole body is behind the curtain"...... You've taken this to the next level... I like it....But not your frustration level
It applies really only to situations when you are trying desperately to communicate/connect with someone and they won't give you eye contact. Look at me damn you.......
I wrote this first and then titled it 'Eye Contact' No, I thought this doesn't express the frustration shown in the poem. A more appropriate 'frustration' title was needed.
It's reassuring and steadying to have eye contact. I deal with difficult people in my line of work, and you learn to balance eye contact out with no eye contact in order to get them to listen key lines of conversation. It's quite a skill, a bit like fishing. So yeah, there are times I deliberately deny eye contact in order to accentuate the effect of when it's made.

A little scary Don, but it's a bugger to be ignored.

Very well crafted Don! No eye contact, can be very frustrating indeed. Someone has to say these things, thank you!?
