2006 Sigma Tau Delta Poetry Conference

Honorable Mention Sarah Ginsburg   "Walk on By"

Erase the eyes
Judging every single move
Cold stare, rude, fixed
Disregard them

And just keep telling yourself it will be alright

Walk by without a care
Leave your head in the clouds
Free, Happy, Oblivious
It’s better up there
 
And just keep telling yourself it will be alright
 
Soon you’ll forget
forget that they’re there
Lifeless, envious, shallow
You’ve got better things to do anyways
 
And just keep telling yourself it will be alright
 
Think of the path ahead of you
Future so bright, it’s blinding
Bold, success, resilience
You are fearless
 
And everything is alright
