The Piercing Eye

Very puzzling, the Piercing Eye
When people stare as they walk by

Why such an intruding gaze
For a stranger in this city maze

Is it something dark or hidden
Or thoughts otherwise forbidden

Perhaps they don’t like what they see
A difference that’s perceived in me

I know that I intend to try
Not to give the Piercing Eye
