Bullsh*t.

I want to scream it into the cold bustling

Air.

No.

Please.

All this for nothing?

Nothing at all?

My stomach drops,

I curl to the floor,

Begging for another outcome.

Why this. Was it not

Enough?

What is enough?

The world is such a

Cruel place,

Justice does not exist

Here. On this place of free air and life.

My life feels dissolved,

Like my limbs are crumbling

Before me.

I went through

Hell.

As my breath catches up

To my thoughts,

I come to the realization

That I want to turn the world upside down.

I want to run and never come back,

I want justice.

I want peace for myself.

For everyone who has ever felt

Like this.

The system is

Bullsh*t.


The author's comments:

For all the people that the justice system has let down, tormented, and berated. Grieving my young, innocent self as I come to realization that all that I've gone through has truly impacted my life. The system is incredibly flawed, the hope I once had towards justice for myself slowly blew away over time, and now I'm finally coming to terms with it. In the end, nothing that happened would ever be justice enough.
