Stare

When you stare at me
I do not know the intention
This sends me to frustration
Each gaze sets a nerve
So much that it starts to twitch

Each second feeling like judgement
A judgement I cannot avoid
So I stand with you questioning
Questioning your true intension

Your true reason
For holding this gaze
On this very spot that I happen to be
Every second of the silence
Sends me to deliberation
Wondering what will be my next movement

Again feeling like a court's decision
I think with hesitation
Is it life or freedom?
Now the collision of your gaze and silence
Results in my impatience and defiance

So I send you ammunition
Waiting for the explosive resolution
But still, your silent gaze
Fails to be overthrown  
So I drop my defensive stance

And walk on...Still questioning

thoughtful Amalie, stare can be dangerous and make work the mind into confusion, this is an authentic poem, a piece of life that is important. Thanks for the poem.
