You stayed by and dressed my wounds
Filled with compassion
Exultant with self-righteousness
You let me rest in your care
My condition confirmed your self-image
Blinded by power
Bolstered by the admiration of others
You held me back
I lay still as though I were dead
Paralyzed by your benevolence
Suffocated by your providence
I dared not move
