Why Did You Watch Me Fall?

Silent screams echo through the night

Questions burning, losing sight

Heart heavy, mind in doubt

Why did they stand around?

Saw the shadows, heard the cries

Saw the tears behind closed blinds

Could've broken the chains, stepped in

Why did you let the suffering begin?

Power to change, but why turn away?

Was it fear, or just dismay?

Lost my voice, lost my fight

While I was breaking in the night

Tell me why, did you watch me fall?

Why did you let the pain grow tall?

Could've saved the pieces of my soul

Instead, I lost control

Bound in silence, can't escape

A plea for help you didn't take

Broken ribs, broken pride

While you stood there, denied

Was it duty, or detachment?

Compassion lost in an empty match?

Pain was real, but you stayed still

Lost my voice, lost my will

Tell me why, did you watch me fall?

Why did you let the pain grow tall?

Could've saved the pieces of my soul

Instead, I lost control

Reprogrammed to obey, to stay in line

But inside I was screaming, waiting to shine

Now I ask the questions that haunt the night

Why did you choose silence over the fight?

Silence broken, healing begins

Seeking justice from within

But sometimes I wonder still

Why they watched, and how they could kill

Hope for answers, seeking truth

Break free from the chains of youth

In the end, I rise, I’m free

But I wonder still, why they didn’t see
