Alone

I'm in a room. There is a light shining on me. I am naked. I am blind. Everyone can see me, but I see only darkness. I hear laughter. I hear jeers and gasps and all of the audible commentary of the world around me. They're throwing stones at me. They're throwing roses at me. They're blowing kisses at me. They're spitting at me. How many are out there watching me? There is one thing worse than the people around me, watching me, torturing me. It is the fact that there are no people. No one is laughing or jeering or gasping. It's all in my head. I am alone in the darkness and on display. I am alone in the darkness and wishing for death.
