Run

Was at a party and this is what I felt.

Am I What I see in the mirror?

Is this me I see?

Is this my voice?

Is this me I am hearing?

Who are these people around me?

Do they hear my words clearly?

And if so why are they still here?

Surely they can hear.

Are my faces to be ignored?

Silly I am sure they are.

Yet, they are meant to be disrespectful.

Yes, I am ignored.

From fear?

Perhaps so.

I just don’t know.

Had they any knowledge of what was in my mind.

They would run.

Yes, it is true. If they knew what I was thinking they'd high tail it in the other direction. I think a lot of people feel that way. This piece really hits home though and I completely understand the feeling of looking into the mirror and not really know if you see yourself as others see you. It is a weird feeling!

Once again, great flow and wonderful subject matter captured in your writing!

This is fantastic. I've had this feeling many times. Great job! :D

I like this piece. I like the emotion and you expressed this very nicely. It is amazing when one writes we can get a glimpse into a person's being. But do we truly get to know that person fully? Very well written.
