A while ago as I was dusting the dirt off the windowpanes, my mind busied itself creating a poem out of those hidden emotions I’ve buried within me almost my entire life. I was planning to jot down those swarming thoughts later but then decided to do it right away because I tend to forget things easily. LOL! So now, presenting to you my 4th poem entitled “Stare”.
“Stare” by jinjin
Along the street
I walk
Much as I want
to be oblivious
I can never escape
that stare…
A stare
full of ridicule
of mock
of disgust
of bullies
makes my sleep
elusive each night
A night
filled with bugging thoughts
urging me to mask my face
all throughout the days of my life
But why, oh God?
I have done
nothing wrong…
I just walk there
and I get that
stare…
If you have noticed, my poems “ABYSS”, “Behind My Smile” and this recent one, “Stare”, deliver the same thought. They are actually one. Only that, in “Stare”, I am very much more specific…

Dont let anyone demoralise your reflection or thoughts of yourself. Someone with such profound thoughts and an ability to beautifully express feelings in a poem should not listen to whatever meaningless words bullies may utter. Bullies are only bullies because of their insecurities keep that clear and well in your mind. All the best to you.
