Retribution
The fire burns with crimson flames
Scorching the soul of many
The arsonists point the blame
Morning they’ll see what they have done
Apologies demanded from the victims
Always blaming them when they fight back
Ideologies of delusion they never break from
They like claiming the ones who are in pain are to blame
Their crime they only say is just a claim
Warnings all they get when it’s undeniable
I want vengeance to reap their names
Recordings of abuse practically unchecked
Methodologies used in how to process
I proclaim everything but it doesn’t matter
My own etiologies infecting me with my own hate
I became bitter to them to get justice for what they did
I just want validation for my misery
They still preserve themselves without consequences
They invalidated everything about me
Don’t I deserve to have justice

Throughout my life, I have been putting up with the harm of people around me. Whether it was from teachers or other kids. Every time I try to speak up about it, I never seem to get the justice I deserve. I never get an apology for what they did. And when I actually got one from my Biology teacher for all of the verbal insults she said to me in the form of "jokes". She still expected one from me, because I had finally stood up for myself. And now apparently I'm the one who needs to apologize for standing up for myself. Whether or not I get in trouble now, I don't care anymore. I won't be mistreated.
