Real Me is about pretending to be ok and everyone believing it. But my eyes aren’t as good at hiding my emotions. So I usually hide my eyes. I don’t look people in the eyes as much as I should. I’m afraid they’ll see more than I want them to. I’m afraid I’ll connect with them and I’m not good with making connections.

I have my friends and I don’t want to make any new ones. The ones I have know what to expect from me. They know I won’t be so forth coming with my emotions. That’s all I want and that’s all I need.

So if you ever happen to see me and I don’t look you in the eyes, know that I mean you no disrespect. I am trying to get better though, so maybe I will look you eyes.

Love
Roxanne
