Stop Judging Me...

I see you all there,
judging me,
but please wait--
you don't know me.

Everywhere I go,
I get those looks,
but I shouldn't seem suspicious,
I'm not the crook.

Everyone's watching,
I feel every glance,
but if I wanted you to look,
I could jump or dance.

Why can't you wait,
and see my true side,
I haven't betrayed all of you,
and I don't always lie.

I'm trying to be myself,
and get rid of the chains.
The chains of what you think,
that keep causing me this pain.

I thought you were my friends,
but it turned to be an act.
acting is something, apparently,
that none of you all lack.

I have been screwed
by made up feelings,
you've shredded my heart,
and taken my feelings.

So I can't trust anyone,
and I wish I was wrong,
but I'm closing my doors,
after waiting too long.

They are not coming open,
until everything cools down,
and I learn to trust again,
and stand up off the ground.

My self confidence is gone,
my feet wont move,
I know I can run faster,
but this I still need to prove.
