They're Watching
They’re watching me
They sit there and watch me fail
They don’t speak
They don’t do anything
All they do is sit and watch me fail
Every moment of my life I’ve felt like I’m being judged
By the way I look, talk, dress
Some days I know my life is mine and no one else can change it
But most days the darkness takes over me
It covers my entire body and I’m in a dark cave,
alone
Darkness in every corner
There’s darkness for miles
“There’s a light at the end of the road” they say
But with people watching I could never make it
Most days I say “you are alone with no one to help you and no one to talk to”
Because everyone is watching
I try to make them feel better by making myself suffer
I’ve tried to break that habit of a fake smile believe me I have tried
Again and again but nothing works
Everything I do falls to the ground like rain from the clouds
That’s all I have at this point
That darkness that runs throughout my body at mile a minute and the raindrops that fall down my face from two puffy clouds
You know the feeling when you are scared to do something because of the feeling of being judged
It’s hurts I should know because it happens to me every single day
Being scared of failing is a bad thing but I can’t control it
Every time I’m alone I feel all the judgement sitting on my back causing me to fall
Causing me to fall in the rain
Causing me to fall in the darkness
Causing people to watch.
