Don't Look At Me

by TheLastSpartan

I don’t like it when people stare. Makes me wish that I wasn’t there, Makes me wish that I didn’t exist, Why do people stare at me like this? Don’t look at me! It’s not what it seems, Why do you insist on ranking me? Calculating with every glance, Measuring my every move, Why don’t you just leave me be? Don’t look at me! Why do you keep analyzing me? I cannot handle your eyes! Dark and cold, Just like your soul. Watching me from the moment we met, And staying with me till death. Don’t look at me! Please! I’m begging, I’m on my knees, Don’t you hear my pleas? Don’t, Look, At, Me.

<p>Lots of teens and people in general have been treated to the point just looking in their direction makes them get defensive. This is a great piece though its sad people feel this way that a simple look can make someone so unhappy or a touch can make someone flinch and throw themselves away in fear. &nbsp;You should look up the piece till this day by shane koyczan. as well as his piece instructions for a bad day (though that one is just because everyone should hear this piece) keep writing x3</p>
