When you were thrown right into darkened, foul pits,
Each of which snatched your chilled-out cheer, chastised charm,
I wept, wondered if ever you’d sense the harm
Caused by ones that laughed, staring at you like kits;
I though failed to realise the power you’d had,
The power to make minds around you less sad.

Arrived thoughts that gave rise to feelings quite bad
When your soul seemed stuck and voice was heard no more,
But I consoled myself, visioned smiles you bore,
Smiles that made our associates laugh, cry, go mad;
Quite heavy was my heart that then looked for few
In darkened pits of my hard heart where bided you.
