Everyone Stares
They stare as if you were in costume
glare across the room
green with envy because they are hollow no guts to be found
stare at me
point your fingers in my direction
laugh
no matter how long you glance my way or criticize my ways
I will always be better than you
I do not point and frown
I don't make assumptions of you and who you are
I simply walk my way and forget I even saw you
can't you do the same?
Let me live in my own little world
full of music and freakish howls
my fanged teeth bother you?
oh dear, I‘m not sorry
oh these shoes? they are platforms, nothing you could ever wear
this hair? nothing you could do
go ahead and stare at me but I can see you shaking
