Step -- drop

We are bent
Until we break

(Nothing beyond
What you can take.)

Step -- drop

We don't choose
And so we quake.

(Learning steps
You want to make.)

Step -- drop

Consent is never
A thing employed.

(Studied.  Asked.
Advised.  Enjoyed.)

Step -- drop

Teased, Denied
Rejected, Small.

(Respected.  Seen.
Cared for.  Calm.)

Step -- drop

Watch as
We fall.

(Kindness
A balm.)

Step -- drop

Independence
Psalms.

(Help
Without qualms.)
