Walking back to my apartment with dim moonlight
I've never been afraid of being out in the dark
It's only 9 anyway.
Something was different though
Feeling eyes staring at me
Following me
I looked at each of the strangers walking past
Are they staring at me?
Or are they just looking around
Their eyes on me no longer than an average glance?
Is there something wrong with me?
Like spinach stuck in my teeth
No, a giant clown costume
Why is everyone starting at me?
Do I look crazy? Am I going crazy?
I wasn't being paranoid
Everyone was fucking staring at me
Giving me this awful look like
I'd done something wrong.
