I kept wondering if I would outgrow
The feelings of eyes on me.
I have yet to believe that they
Aren’t all staring.
I have yet to forget the taste
Of waxy nothingness on my tongue,
The guilt of sleepless nights,
The odd feeling of waking and
Not believing the world around me.
Each tree has grown mouths,
All are laughing.
I walk my dog and I feel the heat
Slither around my spine.
The cars driving by are all looking.
Why do I feel like someone is following me?
I check over my shoulder.
I am submerged in warm ocean.
I can breathe, but for how long?
