Eye Of The Beholder
A glint to the left
Strikes a shimmer of blue-
Then a glint to the right
Changes that hue.
A gaze back to me
Seems a trick of the light,
As now his eyes are blank-
Overtaken by all white.
Panic overtakes me
As the truth sets hard in-
This adolescent has inner chaos
Flowing to its own whim.
Though chaos does in fact flow
Through every coursing vein,
Those sent to my guidance
Have complete control over its domain.
Control of chaos is what’s key
Needed to remain stable
And content within oneself
To avoid anything fatal.
But the look within this eye-
Ever changing in hue-
Shows the mind of a madman
Barely hiding from view.
I see it more than clearly-
His thoughts run through and through
Saying over and over
“I want to kill you.”
His thoughts stay only that,
For now until who knows.
Regardless I refuse to speak
And reap what’s he has sown.
I can’t bear the thoughts,
Running through his mind.
For I know that we will suffer
If his chaos is so inclined.
