How He Looks at People - Exploring Brokenness: Poetry on Pain, Anger, and Human Flaws

How He Looks at People

There is something
Unsettling about
How he looks at people,
A distant, empty gaze
Betraying someone who
Isn’t feeling all that
Settled inside but is
Trying to project
Self-assurance.
He goes about his
Business as if nothing
Is wrong, projecting
Copious confidence until
He inevitably detonates.
