What if I stand here? What if I watch her? What if my fear Looks just like mercy? What if I stay? What if I turn away And they carry her out in a bag? I tell myself it's not my job I'm not trained for this kind of thing The smart thing is to stay unseen To keep my hands clean Someone else will find a way Someone else will know what to do I'm just one person in a crowd What difference could I make? The building groans, the frame starts bending She's screaming now but no sound comes A hundred phones are recording A hundred faces, frozen, numb What if I freeze? She's still behind the glass The seconds keep falling And I can't take them back They tell me to stay back They tell me she's already lost But every voice goes quiet When I look at what it costs My hands won't stop shaking at my sides My throat tastes like burnt wire My legs feel nailed to the curb I can live with being scared I can't live with doing nothing What if I freeze? Let my hands shake Let my heart pound Let the whole damn building break I've spent too long Waiting for someone to move If nobody's going Then somebody has to I look up at the window One more time Hold my beer © 2026 Written by Dhow All rights reserved.
