You have the shame of association.
Turned your heads from cruelty,
ignoring it 'till cessation.
Not the bully,
just observed.
Crying out for someone to help me
You never said a word
Didn't commit the crime
but you bear the sin.
Just 'cause you forgot over time,
doesn't heal the scares within.
Your decision to ignore one's plight
Or decide to turn a blind eye
doesn't put you in the right,
or means that they don't cry
You'll never know what you didn't do
or the difference you could have made.
Walk away, let the cycle continue
While a heart begs to be saved.
