Bystanders

“Why didn’t you leave?
– Unworthy to grieve.”

You misperceive.
I overachieve.

“You should have objected.
It was all expected.”

And you neglected.
Emotionally disconnected.

You criticize.
Certain you’re wise.

Look in my eyes.
Stare as I rise.

Through your eyeball –
Watch me stand tall.

I do not fall.
You always lowball.
