A walk in shades

     Innocuous, dark rimmed, mirror lenses deceive, lie, disguise my thoughts as I walk by.

     Defending from the harshness of the sun  - no -  defending me from the scrutiny of others, to embellish confidence bears greater worth.

     No chance of catching my eye, seeing into my soul, peering into my past, where emotion dwells.
     No possibility of picking out where my curiosity shifts and interests fall.

     As others stare at their feet, head low, I observe freely without regret, without fear,
without commitment to the several seconds of awkward silence, when strangers lock an unwitting gaze.
     
     That is where the danger lies.
                       
     The truth is risky, so I rely on naked eyes being blind to a shaded guise - the hidden nature that my eyes would otherwise fail to hide.
Something I was thinking about the other day while coming home on the bus.

(This is my first piece of literature I thought worth uploading to DA so as such I would appreciate any comments)

(Edit - removed formatting of text, going to post that separately in scraps - very iffy about the weird spacing)
