July Twelve by A.M. Torres

I don’t know what happened

It came on July twelve,

In handcuffs I’d been placed

And put through so much hell.

They judged me by assumption

For they just couldn’t tell

They only saw the outside;

Inside, I wasn’t well.

The tears were trapped within me

They’d woken me from sleep,

I couldn’t show emotion

But God I hurt so deep.

I wish I knew what happened

For, I didn’t 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 it’s all I see.

Perhaps I’ll never know

It was a lovely day,

There are days I still breakdown;

And die in many ways.
