Character Witness
Sworn in
Asked it to speak
"Not one thing did I touch"
The witness creaked
"I've stood in doorways
Never breaking a hinge
I wasn't the overdose, the drug or the syringe
But I was there during their binge"
"I wasn't the path of the storm
Nor was I the numbers
On the page
I was only present in the waiting room
Read the rest of the poem Show less
When they read your cancer's stage "
As prosecutor, you pointed anyway
"Every wound was caused by your craft"
It almost laughed
"Doesn't mean I was the infection that caused your staph
It couldn't simply be
a person trying their best
With what they were dealt
I'm just the name you gave
To the fear that is felt"
The jury is back
They took less than an hour
Not Guilty
Because it has no power
"He left by choice
Which needs no luck
Only a willing hand to move
What isn't stuck"
It stepped down
Walking out free
Leaving you there holding
What was always yours
Now, do you see?
