You were always cautious.
You watched everyone around you closely,
Paying attention to every word and action.
You could tell how people felt by their actions,
The look in their eyes.
You didn't need them to tell you they were irritated with you,
That they were annoyed.
You always knew.
Even if you didn't want to know.
You started seeing the signs,
Holding yourself back,
And eventually,
You shut them out.
You stopped starting the conversations,
You stopped saying hi in the halls,
And they stopped talking to you.
And you realized just how lonely you were.
So damn alone.
