I,
I cannot seem to break free, From,
From those glaring Snake Eyes, They,
They constantly stare at me, Never,
Never leaving my line of sight, I,
I turn and run away,
To the closest hidden alleyway, But,
Through the empty street,
They seem to find me anyway,

From the corners of the world,
A thousand gazes surround me,
And each face,
Looks so disgusted by every blemish and imperfection, Why do they seem like a reflection?

They disregard this unexplored unity, And in the name of individuality, Each eye targets its slits,
So that I can see,

That piercing glare of superiority, Anywhere, and all around me, Everyone is better than me,
I,

I cannot stand to look at another member of humanity, I am tearing up from seam to seam,
A deafening silent scream,
I pity my own inferiority,

Oh,
Oh no, I am lost in insanity,
And left without a drop of clarity.

My heart is palpitating, My entire body, shaking, My will fully decaying Oh no, what do I do,
1
My feet can’t seem to move, With my body, I fail to argue,

A jolt of pain from nowhere,
I feel it everywhere,
Their eyes are daggers,
Little knives Stabbing into me,

first one then the others,
The world is gazing,
Their minds quickly judging -
“Mr. Dark and Gloomy must not have feelings”, “Oh, he’s perfect, he can’t have failings”,

“God, he doesn’t ever smile”,
“His personality’s probably downright vile”, Words sharper than their pointed eyes,

They do not know me,
But they are adept at believing,
Even more at preconceiving
I wonder what they are thinking,
I reason they must hate me,
A notion whose rationale I cannot conceive, Unless maybe their perception is reality, Perhaps I am an abnormality,
There’s definitely something wrong with me,

Wait...,
There’s no one here,
Am I hallucinating,
Is this..,
Is this just another fear,
But..,
But I can hear the serpent's voice,
And I see it in the mirror,
In my shadow, always slithering,
In my mind, endlessly hissing,
In my heart, forever strangling,
Always chained, never free,
My snake eyes will forever paralyze me.
