Shipwreck (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 16)

Do you see the shipwreck over there?

Do you see the shipwreck over there?

Everyone's staring

Everyone's staring

They won't help

But they won't cover their eyes either

Maybe someone should see the damage

Maybe someone should see the damage

But no one's moving

But no one's moving

Maybe because they can't provide the bandage

Maybe because they think it's hopeless

There's smiles on some faces

There's smiles on some faces

The rest of their expressions are blank

The rest of their expressions are blank

The crowd fills the empty spaces

Yet no one moves

Now the shipwreck is sinking

And not one person is blinking

It's going down

But it's not making a sound

And everyone pretends they didn't see

They all pretend the shipwreck isn't me

Today's prompt was a paradelle poem.
