you trust
you love
you know
but will never be safe
the society I so truly loved and defended betrayed me last night.
it left a scare in my brain.
we try to be euphoric and nice people but that is never enough.
he did it for a phone because that is all that is valuable.
and I don't hope you bad but a happy life so not once more you'll need to do that again.
you can run away, in your motorcycle, so far away from me. but you left your face in my house, my front door will never feel the same. you threatened my life.
it was playing a game and you won.
but tonight,
after I was assaulted in front of my own home, I'll be the same as always
just more careful and cautious, because in the end this in my country is normal and for my mind is an unforgettable nightmare that was true.
I hope you can continue to be happy.
I'll continue having chills and remembering your black face of anger.
I'm just thankful you didn't use your gun, that you multiple times mentioned as your lips moved.
I am thankful for my Angel that was there to protect me and comfort my body when my soul was in shock.
Lovely World let's live more.
