Am I Wrong ?...... But What About Me?.....

I watched him beat her Until she had no color And her body was broken -am I wrong for not saving her I watched him drag her Throwing her until her body Was frail…. Board like Using her as a human speed bump -am I wrong for not saving her I watched as his hands Wrapped around her neck While her tried to squeeze The life out of her….. Telling her to just die…. And all the pain would be over -am I wrong for not saving her I watched as tears falsely fell…. From his eyes While he screamed to her I love you and that’s why…. You have to die -am I wrong for believing him -am I wrong for not saving her I watched as he let her free I watched her look right at me And pleaded for mercy Reaching out her hand…. For me to be her savior And as I turned away from her All I could say….. All I could think was….. -am I wrong for not saving her -because nobody ever came to save me Copyright ©2009 Myishia Sacoya Williams
