Stood By As They Were Picked On

There was one person everyone mocked in little ways, and I never stopped it. I laughed sometimes just to fit in. Other times I said nothing and told myself I wasn't responsible. I watched them shrink, speak less, sit at the edge. When they finally stopped showing up, the group moved on like nothing happened. Years later I still remember the look they gave me once, like they were checking if I would help. I didn't. My neutrality was a choice, and it sided with the crowd.
