Skin is crawling away

Look me in the eye
Challenging the observer to engage directly.
Ask me another question

Trying to throw me off
Noticing attempts to distract or confuse, possibly to conceal true intentions.
While you're sitting there correcting your smile

Staring too intently
Observing an intense and unsettling gaze from the entity.
Opened a little too wide
Noting an overly wide and possibly unnatural opening, contributing to discomfort.
Expressions don't follow

Whatever it has to say

Trying to throw me off

Welcome to the uncanny valley

Has it been like this the whole time

Don't want to have to feel it again
