Yes, I saw you stare
Yes, I saw you look away
Yes, I know, I am aware
Yes, it’s a palsy face you saw today
Did I feel so ugly
Did I feel deep pain
Did I feel so awkward when you glanced again
I’m stronger than you think
I’ve had no choice you see
There are people though I know, who are far worse off than me
Ask, go on, don’t be shy
Don’t talk behind my back
I promise I won’t cry
It’s manners that you lack
I drink my coffee and sit
I will wait and see
Are you perfect? I doubt it
So please do not judge me
