Please, please stop following me
After me, always after me
Right behind me, you think I’m not aware
Aware of the footsteps so quietly following
Noises in the dark
Oh, I know you are there
Invisible to the rest of the world it may seem
And all I can do is keep my eyes open
............but I grow so tired
All the laughter, no one believes
It must be a conspiracy
Oh yes, they’re all part of this game
No wonder I get so many stares
Always watching me, my every move
Right behind my every step
Anonymous glances, staring…staring
Please, please make them stop…stop following me
............I am too tired
But I can’t sleep
Must
Stay
Alert
...Or they will catch me

I know you're watching...
