I Will Never Forget

I will never forget those of your who were silent when I was at the peak of my suffering.

Never.

I will never forget those of you who privately prayed and publicly did — nothing.

Never.

—-

I will never do to another what you have done to me.

Ever.

What you have done by doing nothing is far worse than the original injury.

You stood by while I was slaughtered — in silence.

You, who had a voice, did not cry out, even as I suffocated in silence.

You did not come to my aide when the terror and spurning were at their worst.

I will never do to another what you have done to me — not even to you.

Why?

Because YOU are not who I want to be.

Ever.
