Oooh, I really like this one! I had completely forgotten about it until I was cleaning out my stuff from my stepdad's laptop and found it. I hope you like it!

It would be disconcerting, to look into a pair of eyes and see only white cloth
Or to see only one eye
And equally alarming to be threatened by a friend
Or attacked by a master
Because intensity can be scary
Almost as scary as monotone
And the strangest things can become obsessions
Villains, heroes…
So much can hide behind a mask
Fear, strength…
But more can hide behind a refusal to speak
Fear of strength, strength because of fear
Because when you're unwilling to stop
Like a row of screens whirring away
Reasoning gets lost
Or gets taken away
And miracles happen only so often
Like being shot in the head and only losing an eye
And miracles can only save you from so much
Dust can settle on the ability to rescue
And dust can settle on the ability to understand
So in case it was unclear this was a comparison between Robin and Slade, much like Lights Out (chapter 1). Also, I just posted a poem separately on my account. It's called Angel, and it's not in here because I just thought it would do well to stand on its own.
Thanks for reading and please review!
