The eyes never leave you.

There watching you,
every where every second,
never leaving their sight,
till the moments just right.
Always watching your back,
never able to relax.
they'll pop out and say boo,
and arent afraid to hurt you.

Always talking to yourself,
singing and shouting,
in fear that they'll hear,
and continue to hunt you.
You'll beg and yell,
when they show themselves,
confidence gone...
and soon you'll be too.

Hmmm...

Well, while reading I was in search of something other than what seems apparent. Is this piece about people(s) literally watching/surveying? Like being paranoid, but the paranoia actually being true...

Well...

It is about actually feeling like i'm being watched. When im in my house alone i get scared cause i think someone is going to pop out of a closet and like kidnapp me or something. Just a regualar fear so i thought i'd write about it and maybe that would help me get over it :) Peace :) <3 AdriannaNicoleC.
