July Twelve by A.M. Torres

I donât know what happened

It came on July twelve,

In handcuffs Iâd been placed

And put through so much hell.

They judged me by assumption

For they just couldnât tell

They only saw the outside;

Inside, I wasnât well.

The tears were trapped within me

Theyâd woken me from sleep,

I couldnât show emotion

But God I hurt so deep.

I wish I knew what happened

For, I didnât know,

Now forever ruined

They sure put on a show.

A child with special needs,

I struggled while depressed

How easy they came in

And looked beyond the mess.

Never will forget

It came on July twelve,

Alone, sad, and confined

Depression hurts to tell.

Away from the familiar

Where they punished me,

Confused from all they did

Unfair itâs all I see.

Perhaps Iâll never know

It was a lovely day,

There are days I still breakdown;

And die in many ways.
