Chapter 1 by Bane of Severus

Author's Notes:

This is my first post. Please review and tell me how you like it.

Is there something to be said for those who do not make it?

For the ones who cannot speak?

Should they be revered and recalled fondly?

Or be forgotten because they are weak?

What of the ones who do not beat the disease?

They are overcome and fall into the crease

The unending stereotype with no release

The constant tide that will not cease

Should numbness be bestowed?

Blind, cruel, unfeeling hatred?

No, for surely they have not reaped what they have sowed

True, they were kind in life but now are dead

This is all irrevocably true

The cycle repeating through and through

I will continue on to find the respect I seek

For the ones who cannot speak
