for too long
walked behind
when it should
have been beside
belittled a soul
diminished a voice
denigrated by hands
tossed aside free will
thought she wove magic
in realisation disparaged
resilliance seeped
loss of innocence
consumed by gnashing teeth
and displaced emotions

Resilience at best is the light from within another person, resignation is the fact sometimes we never notice the other person shine at all. It's not our fault
