guilty

[ˈɡiltē]

1. culpable of or responsible for a specified wrongdoing.

At seventeen, I was found guilty for murder. Guilty. The word that consumes any piece of identity I once had and reminds me of how drastically a life can change in a matter of seconds. Being incarcerated for murder maintains a permanent hold on you, even when new evidence comes to light. Evidence that proves you are innocent, that you were always innocent, only after the damage is done.

For those who put me there, it's only been three years- but I'm not the same person anymore.

Watched Bishop tell the Headmaster, "Sir, it was so dark. I- [Name], he- he fell. We didn't realize what happened..." They all got off scot free. Not even a slap on the wrist. After all, they were just a couple of fresh-faced 7th years getting hazed by their upperclassmen. Who would think they were capable of murder?

🔱 BROKEN 🔱 A feeling of hopelessness, loneliness and despair. A feeling that leaves a person empty, blank and stone cold because of it. Usually accompanied by a lack of self worth. Cause: Trauma, depression or loss of a loved one. Sometimes all of them. Can also be a side effect of bottled up feelings, waiting to burst at any moment. Treatment: The greatest cure for of al. A cure so hard-so rare, yet beautiful-to find, let alone acquire. Once it is in your grasp however, nothing can come between it and the person who craves it. Love. 🔱🔱🔱 Ashley Crowther has had it all. She's been all. She knows nothing but joy, laughter and how to have a good time. Get under her skin however, and she might just bite. You might just see a side of her that she's so expertly great at keeping at bay. But how long? How long will it take for her true self to finally burst free? 🔱🔱🔱 Eros Huxley is broken. To a point where he cant be put back together, to a point where he couldn't care less about anything. He's been the boy your parents warned you to never play with, the boy who never smiles, the boy covered in bruises and the boy who always looks down. The black sheep of not just his family, but of a whole town. All these before he was even 12 years old. What about when he gets older? 🔱🔱🔱 With every light, there is a darkness, waiting for its moment to come. With every right, there is a wrong. With every joy, there is a sorrow. Nothing can truly be itself, without having an opposite side to it. One cannot exist without the other. With sadness always watching from the corner, growing and growing, bigger and stronger, for its moment to arrive; to surface. No one is ever truly free from it. ©
