On the panel of justice, she puts herself

Every encounter, every happening, 

Making her want to pull herself 

In the dark dungeons of overthinking.


Sitting on her bed, two twenty am 

She stares at the void In the air. 

Something right, everything wrong

Which move right, which step wrong.


Eventually, 

Nothing is dysfunctional on the outside 

Everything full of cheery smiles and confident strides;

But when u look inside, A mess of papers lays untouched.

Lots of scribbles, lots of colours, 

Stories starting good, but taking u-turns.


"What? A mess." Says her brain.

"What a mess!" Says her heart.


Papers full of her glory days 

Of 'good' people who went away, 

But still live rent free in her head 

Giving birth to unanswered questions.


"You are to blame!" Says the devil.

"You are to blame!?" Asks the Angel.


Who was to blame was still a question 

Was still a battle...
