Eyes on Me

Part 3: Social Anxiety

Eyes on Me

Those judgemental Eyes,

Prying into my dignity,

Tormenting it until nothing was left-

Only a shadow, just a cloud of dust.

I couldn't lift my head.

My worries, inflated by discomfort,

Severed my ties with reality.

And I shirked away from this world.

As I cowered into my own devices,

I felt the presence of those Eyes-

Oh those dreadful Eyes!

They gazed at me with contempt.

Those Eyes on me,

They denied my freedom.

I only wished to smile,

But those Eyes sealed my lips.

All that was left

Was a simple frown,

As those devious Eyes

Continued to purge my joy.
