The Innocent &The Guilty

They're both standing there in handcuffs, in front of the judge. They're both awaiting and getting ready to be judged.

Their families are coming in crying and stumbling, the others all around can't seem to stop mumbling.

One is going to jail for the maximum of 10 and the other for 5. But in the end, their parents know it hurts inside.

They're going to jail anyway, because of something that happened the other day.

Attempted brutality, it was a mistake. Trying to prove to the girl that she wasn't weak or fake.

The girl kept picking with her, pushing her button. While having a thought that she would do nothing.

When she popped off, guess what she did? She beat her and beat her til she was almost dead.

The girl had punch and bruise marks all over her face. It was something surgery couldn't replace.

She ran away hoping to forget, but she knew she wouldn't forget.

She ran to her friend and told her what went down. Her friend hid her while the cops drove around.

She -soon- decided to go home and say hi, but they were caught and could only say goodbye.

They were locked up and tooken right on the spot.
Now they're in court being claimed guilty or not.

And is now on lock.
