"judas" he screamed

3 2 0
                                    

his hands are tied,
blood rolling down his arms and legs

he was confused,
scared

terrified

how could a place like this,
be a home for him?

"i don't belong here"

he thoughts

he couldn't even think again because
he was scared others could hear

didn't you know thoughts get around?

pushed around,
and the thought of wanting to die

he was in his last straw

suicide

he thought

it wasn't called jail

it was called
hell

he witnessed someone get killed over lunch break

he thought
"what if i'm next?"

the next day was never promised

jail full of snitches,

which one will pull judas next?

he was pushed back into his cell

"JUDAS"
he screamed

what happened next

remains a mystery,

but betrayal is real

judas
judas
judas

where did i go wrong?
