Many eyes watch
During this incursion:
Many eyes are always watching,
Skeptical, cautious, aware
My girlfriend begged me to be 'safe'
Safe
Comrades wished me to be 'safe'
Safe
Vultures ordered me to be 'safe'
Safe
Lawyers told me to be 'safe'
Safe
Each connotation different
Subtext changed, shifted slightly
Alive
Unhurt
Obedient
Abiding
Their eyes watch me
Even when out of sight
Judging, worrying, waiting
Ever present
The feeling of being watched,
I asked myself to stay 'safe'
Safe
Invisible
