People are everywhere Eyes are everywhere They’re all living their own lives but why do I feel as though mine is being watched? As though they’re looking for a mistake in me Is my hair messy? Is my outfit mismatched? Do I walk weird? Is there something wrong with me? Being judged seems to be my reality but maybe I'm just paranoid. I’m not all that important, but people still tend to look in my direction I open a bag of chips- eyes on me I drop something on the ground- eyes on me I laugh strangely- eyes on me I trip over my own feet Eyes.

We don’t have anybody else… Wait… What is that? Who are they? Are they…. Coming back to us? Sitting beside us are all the friends and family we thought we lost along the way, but in truth, we never lost them...
