Red Clowns

I sway back and forth slurping on my soda and spot a peculiar scene Over by the creepy Clown with the evil green eyes A girl standing alone Afraid Talking to herself, repeating a name Sally she says over and over again She almost screams at the words Guys walk up to her They give me a sick vibe, deep in my chest I feel how she feels Panic, wonder, fear Betrayed. He grabs her arm, violently squeezing I can feel the pain on my own arm I want to help her I do But what could I do? I'm just a small girl like herself, I could not fight I would try to speak but lose the nerve Lose the words of defense They drag her away I should tell someone If I don't the guilt will eat me alive.. I won't say anything I'm sure she will be fine If she didn't want them she would scream and fight back Right? She sees me watching Her eyes plead for me to take action I look down at my shoes I didn't see anything I glance up to hopefully see her judge ridden eyes to stare back at me But she is gone Forever lost Her voice I still hear Sally she says You said it would be fun
