Bullied

They stoned her heart a pebble at a time Every word and every line they ever drew to dare divide And isolate one soul in an assembly line crime She drew back when they came near, each eager to toss a stone And when the tears where pushing hard in the backs of pleading eyes They’d leave her, sad, ashamed and so painfully alone Everyone saw it but nobody knew it, not even she would admit For bloodless battles rage in the freedom of apathy And minds are quick to organize- what won’t compute, acquit Right and wrong and respect were all lost because they were never found And they stripped her personhood away, stone by stone and bit by bit Another soul died inside, but nobody heard a sound

Mmm, that was tough. I mean in a good way. Very hard hitting. Excellent job.
