You see that girl in the hall again.
The same one who you watched get pushed around.
And what did you do?
Nothing.
Absolutely NOTHING!
You watched as she was spit on.
Ridiculed because she's a little different.
But still,
you did nothing.
You can't even look her in the eyes.
Why?
Because if you do,
the same treatment will befall you.
As it did her.
Think about it like this,
as you walk by her,
you could've been that one voice.
That one voice who could save her.

And did you know, that as she was tormented,
she looked up and saw you laughing.
and in that moment
she realized.

I am alone.

All because you didn't stand up for her.
All because you had to be "cool".
All because you're another drone.
Just like the rest.
