Disregarded

And there was no one to defend you
No one rose against the beating hand
No one denied a thing, except that
You became disregarded

So they relieved themselves from responsibility
Relieved themselves from you
No one denied anything, except that they saw
A little child barefoot outside

Saviors escaped
They forgave themselves
Even though they never apologized
That little child, face covered in tears

  1. I wish I could quote this entire piece. It's like every time I come here I've forgotten how well you write.

    "And there was no one to defend you

    I love the word disregarded and overall how this piece flows. And the part with the barefoot child outside... yeah. That gives me chills.
    Keep it up.
