No Second Glance

There I stood, barely nine as he was taken in the light of day. A prisoner of fate was I, given no sign, to witness his limp body bruised lay, yet as adult walked away from his shrine. There I stood, steeling my stance for the sake of my silence as children mocked, giving no chance. From solitude I drew my resilience and gave no second glance.
