She Stands Alone
The talk behind her back
is stupid at its best
for them it is «inclusion»
for her - it is a test
He quotes her out loud
in a negative tone
in front of his group
while she stands alone
She says to herself
in her outspoken mind
I will forgive you
perhaps - if you are kind
He kept on with his mocking
for an hour or so
unaware of the cost
but someday he will know
She carried the grudge
for a minute or two
then she let go
because she already knew
