The blue eyes sparkled like cut sapphires
I sensed their desperation to escape the quiet library
They were fixated on the hazel eyes beside them
I lost control of focus to finish my homework
I watched these two pairs of eyes stare at a monitor
Words of intimate expression visible to everyone
Were my brown eyes jealous?
Months have disappeared since my last eye contact of affection
Years of anguish from being single weighs on my heartbroken spirit
The emotional pain degrades my ability to achieve complete clarity
My brown eyes cannot continue to conceal my admiration of affectionate stares
I hate this existence of observing reality from a separate one
The barrier between realities is reinforced glass
I pierce this window with a head first crash
The shattered pieces never sounded my eagerness to escape
I glance at the lonely enclosure I once occupied
My brown eyes widened to realize the pane was instantly replaced
I escaped the gray painted room for a colorful paradise
The long hallway was empty
The sound of slow footsteps originated north of my position
I stroll north for this subtle sign of humans near
My brown eyes were blinded by a white light
I found myself to stand barefoot on baking sand
I stood on a remote tropical beach
I scanned the shoreline for a pair of eyes
I found gray ones beneath an umbrella stuck in the sand
I approached gray eyes that observed the calm ocean
She shuddered when I waved hello
I took a seat beside gray eyes on the sand
I struggled to speak with this young woman in an orange bikini
I took a deep breath and exhaled
I poured my soul into her soul over six hours
I succeeded to erase my social anxiety
At the cost of a parched throat
I stood to retrieve a glass of cold water
This was the moment my environment darkened
The glass portal between realities had returned
I stood in my college’s cafeteria center
The lunch tables all bustled with activity
I glanced to my immediate left
A teenage girl with long brunette hair sat alone
At a roundtable meant for eight people
I introduced myself to the lovely female
She requested I sit beside her and chat
Her body language immediately exploded with openness
My brown eyes ceased their feeling of abandonment
I was accepted by her with wholehearted devotion
No longer was I forbidden to affectionately stare
The bottled pain escaped my brown eyes
Similar to an eruption from Mount Vesuvius
The anxious pressure steadily decreased
A sense of gratefulness overwhelmed me
Thank goodness I escaped my lonely reality
My brethren with social phobias
Please listen to my important message
Never isolate yourself for months without end
Unless you need to understand your true identity
Isolation is the key to self-knowledge for a return to a community
Community is the disabled lock to discard feelings of isolation
And no eyes should view the world as though from afar
