replacing 14.

wound


She was the newest employee
recognised the imbalance of power
Between her and the higher
the abuse inexcusable

She advocated on behalf of herself.
she had to
Suddenly all came forward
disclosed the length

Of her put-downs
treated as subordinates
As lowly
she was confronted eventually

Threw her keys
left
With four minutes notice
withheld all knowledge

Do we put it to
Selfishness?
Immaturity?
Insecurity: the fruit of the deeper cuts

~

Wherever you are
I hope you heal
It was not ok to treat us like that
But I understood why you did.
I am praying for you
I hope you are ok.
