Every Single One of Them

She told her classmates
Every single one of them
But they did not come forward
Not a one of them

So at noon during recess
She made her way to the roof
And threw herself off
In front of every single one of them

They were shocked
Traumatized for years
Had nightmares the rest of their life
Every single one of them

It is so tragic when a cry for help is not heard; the repercussions can be so widely felt-
