Who Are We Stalking
Do you notice them?
They watch your every move.
They peak in at you through the windows.
But once your eyes meet theirs, they’re gone.
They crawl through the attic and reach out through the walls.
I can smell the hate radiating off them.
It’s like the hunger of a human ready to devour their own.
I saw one once. One who didn’t run away.
It saw me but couldn’t stare back.
Its eyes hung from their sockets.
I asked it, “Are you human?”
It replied, “only as much as you are”
The most horrifying thing about it was all I could see staring back at me was myself.
You alone watch yourself more than anyone else. You judge your voice, stare at your stature, reach out for more perfect looks.
Never, not even once, have you looked past the surface.
Never have you glanced at your heart and asked if it was human.
For it would have told you that you no longer were.
