Naked

Is it possible to feel naked all the time?
Clothed, de-clothed, yet eternally naked.

People's stares seem cruler, their smiles more wicked.
Eyes following your every move seem vindictive rather than curious.

Whispers, oh God the whispers!
She's not good enough. She's so easy to screw with. Can you believe she actually thinks I care?

Please, take it one step further.
Stop staring and act.
At this point, anything would be better than this bitter scrutiny.
Just finish it. Crush my heart while I'm ready for it.
Oh wait, that ruins the fun.
