Doing Something Wrong

I seem to be not very good at this.
But what can I say?
I try my best, I work real hard
But still I pay the price.

What am I doing wrong?
I can't seem to decide
Is it my attitude, my strengths?
My empathy or my optimism...

I'm definitely doing something wrong
For I can't get them to talk
I can't get them to tell me
Just what I'm doing wrong.

I'm not very good at this
But still I can't complain
I'm trying damn hard
But still I can't do it right.

This lame poem is not an attack,
Nor is it a cry
But I hope the message gets across
That I don't know what to do.
