Silent Bystander Poem by Sara Amidon

Silent Bystander

Rating: 4.7


I'm a girl sitting in the corner, a big, dark, shaded spot
silently looking on while her friend is getting shot.

A boy watching on while his mother's getting beat
he's to small to stop it, to scared to even speak.

A friend who has been put down to many times to count
watching another good friend getting knocked out

Well i don't want to be that kid, that friend, girl or small boy
i don't want to live in silence, i know i have a choice
to stand up for whats right and to squish all that's wrong

But for now i guess i'm that silent looking bystander,
trying to do no wrong.
