Under the watchful eye of many
I became alone
Hiding in the shadows has become impossible
It used to be so easy to hide behind the beauty of darkness
The shadows have lost their mystic
The shadows have betrayed me
Darkness my friend you use to be with me always
Now the eyes are on me
They are always open, they see everything and never blink
They never stop watching me
I feel them with each step I take
They judge me without a sound
They snarl at my choices without understanding my thoughts
They light up like 1000 lights looking for things I can’t give
I wish I could see what they see
What they see is entrenched in negativity
They see only my flaws without understanding my truth
They only see my scars without understanding my battles
They only see my outside without seeing what hardened my insides
They do not see my past only the destruction of my present
They see only what they want to see which is a contract I never agreed to
I never wanted to be watched but I never had a choice
I never wanted to be a walking show, but I never had a choice
I must Learn to show only a little and hide a lot
The eyes are everywhere
where to hide when blinking eyes appear in the darkness?
I feel them watching me sleep, still they do not make a sound
They do not rush for they have all the time in the world
When I move, they move
step for step they match me
Beat for beat they do not lose me
when I look at them…. still they don’t blink
They record what they see
Then they tell my story without speaking
The eyes tell all that the mouth doesn’t need to say
They are without a doubt what I fear the most in this world
They are my nightmare come alive…….they have always been alive
Dear world
Please stop watching me
For you will never understand me
“They only see my scars without understanding my battles” ❤
Beautiful words.
