Nosy Stares....

Nosy Stares....

(THIS IS A POEM ABOUT PEOPLE WHO KEEP ON BUTTING IN SOMEBODY ELSE'S LIFE AND HOW I DEAL WITH IT.)

I have got people around
Got eyes peeking on me
It's awkward
And they make that a level higher

They stare and stare
Unusual are their glare
Noon and dawn are my biggest fear
Because they stare

It's not that
I'm doing wrong
But it's their eyes
That make me frown

Eyes are a great weapon
Their stare made me realize
It can take a person down
Or it may make the person strong

How majestic they are
Making me feel wronged
Making someone feel strong
It's your choice how you deal with glares

I used to avoid them
Till the day I wrote this prose
Used to hide away in nightlight
Which I used to fear as a baby bear

How great are their eyes
I hold some respect
Cause they made me strong
But gave me another weakness.

One fine day sat on a chair
Light was bright
There were still stares
Thought about what I care

I cared for what will they think (about my appearance)
What will they spread (a truth or lie behind my back)
Will they be my enemy or my friend
Will I be included or discarded

My mind was crowded
With nasty thoughts
For a sec, what I thought
Made me feel like a shit

I decided to be strong enough
So that those eyes don't
Make me feel wrong
I have a lot in my bucket

Many people to love and care for
Many things to be considered
Nasty thoughts were to be discarded
That fine day my life was awarded

Those eyes kept on staring
And I kept on living
Cause I knew the real me
Cause knew they'll keep on staring....
