Prison Of My Own
The entire restaurant taking glances at me
Judging
The odd man eating alone
Unspoken words
What a Loser
Embarrassed, lonely, unable to concentrate
I ask myself
Am I imaging this?
Slow unnoticed nod
Yes
Eyes stay closed
When I feel I have a grip, my eyes
Slowly open
Still confused
Same question
As before
And the time before that
Why me?
Maybe it’s the way I’m dressed, outdated
Or too sloppy
Not properly coordinated
So last year
I’m sorry
My internal voice
Apologizes
It’s not like I don’t want people
To like me
Or to find love
Or just be the best person
That I can be
Shame, Isolation, Outcast, Different
Judged, Remorse, Exasperated, Lonely
This prison of depression
