Eyes

Staring

Why are they always staring?

I twitch

I blink

I move

And they can't look away

Please look away

I don't want you to look

Your gaze tears me to shreds

The walls are closing in

I hear your whispers

But who am I to say they're about me?

I bite my lip

Tasting the blood against my teeth

I grit them tightly

I squeeze my eyes shut

Shut up

Shut up

Shut up

I can't take it anymore

I grip my hair in shaky fists

Rip

Rip

Tear

I wince in pain

Oh no

I did that for real

They're looking again

Please go away

Don't look at me

I can feel your gaze like spiders in my stomach

Sickening

Revolting

Please stop

I let out a cough

All eyes turn to me

Their eyes

Taunting me

Daring me to do anything at all

So they may judge me silently

Never to know their true thoughts

I wish to scream

But I can't

They'd notice

Their eyes would pass through me like beady bullets

I swallow dryly

When was my last drink?

The fountain is too far

I wish it were here

If I walk towards it

They'll look again

I can't afford that

I can't

One pair

Two

Eight

Twenty seven pairs of eyes now

Still more

Eyes judging

Eyes staring

Eyes mocking
