Watching me day in and day out.
Judging and hurting me from every angle.
bring up all of my downfalls.
Walking through me like a ghost.
Taking my breath away.
Looking to see if Iā€™m going to fail at life.
Losing all hope in me.
Watching my tears fall like a river.
Telling me i should stop fighting for success.
Disrespecting me to get my reaction.
With pain and joy in mystic might.
Speaking to me in silence.
With passion and regrets.
Attracting me and driving me away.
Sicking into my secrets.
Holding me and releasing me.
With calmness and mysteries.
Making me feel like fear is conquering me.
Feeling like my soul is being snatched from me.
Distracting me with negative energy.
Feeling everyone's heartaches and pain.
Seeing the reflections of many wounds.
Feeling chilled with an unknown quilt.
Where everyone knows your whole life story.
Not having a chance to change the mistakes that were made.

But with eyes around me, I continue to do my best.
Not caring about the outsiders, and what they see.
My only concern I have is to be the best I can be and make sure I
Never give up on me. With the help of God, you will always be
Covered. So let the eyes around continue to see what they want to see.
