You Are Not Alone

In this world
When you are a victim 
Everyone expects only one thing 
From you
Your disappearance 
Because every time
You scream 

Reminds 
Them 
That they remind
Them 
That they did nothing 

They just watched 
The stoning 
With a shot of silence 

It is not the stones that kill 
It's the silence 
It is not the stones that tear
It's the indifference 
It is not the stones that breathe 
It's the impatience 

To leave a world that only 
Listens to music 
of Unconsciousness
