Public Transportation Hazards

I rush every morning holding my coffee .
I board the bus , checking my phone 
I want no problems .
As mind prepares for hectic hours 
some daring guy breathes on my ear, 
questioning me for my IG .
 beyond upset 
I  say : no way.
Another guy at 7’s platform wishes
 the same , 
he’s fine ,
I give in .
I finish work and I feel drained 
And again on the bus 
Coming back home an old guy casually 
gives me his number 
and he says :-call me
I feel disgusted .
 The next day comes.
The first guy stands in front of me 
The bus is packed ,
and he tells me please give me your IG .
I feel the sin of my hypocrisy 
so out of pity ,
I give in .
One minute later he is texting me
He likes my pics , he hearts my comments , 
OMG he is so extra ! 
I have to ghost him . 
Three days have passed
He hates my guts , if looks could kill …
I would be dead tomorrow morning. 
Then he gets salty
He writes I’m basic , and even chunky. 
Then he posts selfies with his own shorty 
That’s it ! 
I have to block him . 
The hunky one , he booty texts me
I check my phone it’s 3:am 
Asking to meet me 
so we can cuddle until the sunrise.
Forgot to mention his IG contacts
are  only women , with huge sweet bums 
and scarce clothing . 
I can’t reply I have my pride 
hottie and all I have to block him.
And every day repeats same stories 
of dummy guys 
asking  for something. 
When I say no  I’m nasty B, 
if I say yes I’m nasty B. 
Only cause 
I ignore them. 
As you can see I have my motives, 
to my dismay this city is full of spineless men
Younger and older. 
Still I have old pops phone number 
I haven’t called him 
Maybe I will , I’m very morbid  .
