She Looks Calm

calm she looks
i know better

her blue eyes bore a hole through the humans
she has been mistreated by many

she stands staunchly rigid
unyielding

hating them in more than a few ways
her wrath is felt by the empaths

who run out of the room screaming

Yes, I'm afraid I have encountered situations like this in my past. So, I can relate.

I have officiated at weddings where, at the rehearsal, the bride behaved like this, believe it or not!

Sometimes I have to leave a crowd and get in my car and rest.
