Nobody Cared
By Nomar Knight
She wept for what
was lost
Her shoulders
bounced
Chin tucked to her
chest
Eyes welded with
tears
She thought nobody
cared
It didn't matter how
she felt
People bending her
will
Breaking the need
for comfort
Until hope
evaporated
She thought nobody
cared
Ridicule ruled her
waking hours
Sadness brought by
misdirection
Loneliness smothered
thinning breath
Past decisions kept
her prisoner
She thought nobody
cared
Years of being
pushed and pulled
Slapped and kicked
Spat upon and
neglected
Brought her to her
knees
She thought nobody
cared
Her allies turned
against her
Hoarse whispers
drowned out
By stomping tantrums
Cast out of grace
She thought nobody
cared
Until a Knight heard
her pleas
Soothed aching soul
Valued her
friendship
Healed her for a
breath
Alas someone cared
Shackled from power
Hidden from view
Her savior banished
forever
Separated by
ignorance
Again nobody cared
The princess cried
For hope shouldn't
die
Yet freedom's song
was silenced
Keeping her in
darkness
When will somebody
care
