Shame

You were always alone
A silent stare, shy
Doing your thing
But I never heard your muffled cries
Your hidden strife, and
Your unrelenting silent agony
A fake cautious smile
While silently being bullied mercilessly

I never saw, the pain in your eyes
Your silent struggle, your muted cries
It's on us, we lived so blind
To the echoes of your helpless mind
Shame, shame, shame, on us

Just classmates, no ties that bind
Your world unseen, by everyone so blind
Wish I'd noticed, wish I'd seen
The signs of your sadness, so unseen

I never saw, the hurt you hid
In the background, you silently slid
It's our shame, we weren't aware
Missed the chance, to show we care
Shame, shame, shame, on us

Now you are forever gone
You endured your bullies torment
I learned now, to open my eyes
See the pain, behind a masterful guise

You found peace up above
I hope you can hear this
Your bullies were caught
Cuz karma is real, see
Shame on the bullies, shame on the teachers
Shame on the school, shame on the silent
Shame on the grown ups, heck
Shame on me
