to be noticed
you didn’t notice she was far away
you didn’t notice she was crying for help
you didn’t notice her fragility
you didn’t notice her stubbornness
you noticed how she became quiet
you said it “was rude”
you noticed her motivation
you said it was “lazy”
but you didn’t notice her unhappiness
you didn’t notice she was crying for help
you didn’t notice her smile
as it faded away
