Mind of a passerby

We walk together Over and over I see your face Sparkling with delight and shining with beauty You've heard my voice As gratitude of your presence I told you I am here for you I will protect you But the day has come where I was challenged You walk alone Ridiculed and isolated I notice your face Bruised with hate and scarred with contempt You hear voices As shouts of disgust I, your "friend" I, your "protector" In the day where you needed me the most, I became a mere passerby My emotion tells me to stop this But my fear tells me that I can't do it. I want to stop it I need to prevent it Bullying The fun of the arrogant public Blind with their own pride Deaf with their own greed They claim to be working of goodwill Yet words can be deceiving I will do my best And once it over I can finally call myself Your friend
