Apathy: Noiseless Screams

She screams, her voice swept away in the wind

Just a bothersome whisper.

And even if they could hear,

Would they really care?

Bound by society, shackled by norms

They could watch a murder, not sparing a tear

Someone else is the hero,

Someone else will save the day

Though it's too late for her,

her life's fading away.

She clings to the hope that someone will fight,

but sorry poor girl they can't be your knight.

They'll point and they'll stare

but they don't really dare,

to hold out a hand,

to show that they care.

It's not the norm,

you must understand.

But don't give up hope,

they'll be sitting at home,

pouring their outrage over things all so wrong

and as all the life is leeched out of you,

they'll heave a great sigh

and find other things they had to do...
