Soapbox Rally


Late don't catch me I'm breathing

Pausing quickly to take in cold

Sutures that won't stop wound weeping

Are blameless as when you were told


And my chest caves in heaving

What could you prove to us all?

Appliance of gauze won't stop bleeding

You refuse to rise from your fall


You blame

Yet things stay the same as they had always been

You blame

You won't come and look at the time you've wasted


You shamed us

That crushed us all

Blamed us

I found rain

I found rain

I found rain


You shamed us

That crushed us all

Blamed us

I found rain

I found rain

I found


The choice was not yours comfort could not take

But you spare us always
