Defending

Why do we never see
The quiet ones
The ones who dont speak
Dont act
Becase theyre afraid
Afraid of being judged

We ignore them completely
Snort at their presence
Turnour backs
Laugh at who they are
Who we think they are

Why cant we just leave them alone?
Why do we make them feel that way?
Its wrong
Theyre people too
Probably a better personn than ou

No one can defend them
They become one
By default
By neglect
By torment
An outcast
Ust like who they tried to help

Maybe thats why Im one
I defended them
So look where I am
But I wouldnt change a thing
