Life is not fair!

You hear that all the time. And yes it is true, life is not fair. Life is not fair at all. As I was thinking about what to blog tonight, I was reminded of a case I worked over a year ago. I wrote this on the way home from the interview:


Shot and killed.
A nightmare.
My reality.
I often wonder . . .
What went through his head?
Besides the bullets
His child?
Me?
His father.
Children at play.
Darkness.
God.
That bitch.
Yes, guilty.
Well, no - - not guilty
I was only defending
What little was left of me
When he was on top of me
I’d wish his weight would crush my chest
That he would not notice
I have ceased to breathe.
You see my body, beaten, broken.
But when I saw the way he looked at innocence
I shot and killed evil.
I was only defending
What little was left of me

My child.


As far as I know, she is still in jail and her child is in foster care. Yeah, life is not fair. But I hope this puts things in perspective. It did for me.
Today I Feel:

Heads Turned for: "Life is not fair!"
