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           Maybe it’s the way I’m dressed, outdated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
