-C

do you know how it feels 

when all the eyes in the world 

stare you down

she does

she says they are knives 

knives that stab her everywhere

never missing a spot on her body

making scars all over herself

no mercy 

but here's the thing 

if you retract your knives

she'll get offended

she has learned to live with them

stabbing

jabbing

scarring

making her life miserable 

yet pleasant 

I don't know if you understand 

how it truly feels

with all these metaphors 

so here it is 

when all the eyes in the world 

stare her down 

it makes her feels exposed and scared 

something she can't live without
