did you even notice
how many people need your help?
their silent screams of desperation
your silent knife in their back
every time you don't say anything

did you even notice
how many scared arms are in your hallways
how many lockers
read "*****"
how much blood is on the floor
how many people hide who they are
all because you won't say anything

did you even notice
all the skeletons in your closet
depositing a check
for a hundred more laws
in your mind
behind a cage of time
your past is the master
controlling your ****** design
but you didn't speak

did you ever notice
you never cried
a good cry  
and you can't speak out
because your the same inside
