A thousand eyes,
Watch your every move,
Silently judging,
From across the room,

Their unsettling stares
Pierce through me,
Like countless daggers,
My heart is about to burst,

An enveloping uncertainty,
Shrouded in fear,
Of what is to come,
And what will be,

Heart is racing,
Knees are weak,
Arms are heavy,
The weight of a thousand stares

Feel immense,
Do I choose to ignore them,
And have them watch,
Or do I stare back?
