Why did she feel like a kindergardener?
Afraid to say what's right?
Not snitch on the other girl,
Because she would seem like such a kiss-up.
[T]
Why did the other girl have to die?
Because of all the tears that fell.
They did what they were meant to do,
But it did not end up that well.
[E]
Because of the kindergardeners actions,
The one that got hurt would not get the respect she needed.
The 'other girl' would not get in trouble for the things that she did.
Nothing would come of it that day.
Until it all started to build up.
To accumulate into suicide.
Oh woe is that poor little girl.
[A]
Why do I feel like an insecure fool?
The one that never says what they feel.
Maybe because I never stood up for her.
The 'one that got hurt' kindergardener.
All these years I never said a thing.
And if I said something,
I never really said what I needed to say.
I will never look at my face again.
I feel like I murdered her,
And I about did.
Who could live with that burden on them?

2. You see me for who I am, yet you are afraid to stand up for me, you believe in me, do you not stand up for what you believe in?

This has never happened to me. Being the one who never tells. I'm more of the 'one who got hurt' kindergardener right now in life. But I'm okay with that. Life is fine anmd better then many.
