Sorrow

Pain

Depression

Cops filled my home

Lights everywhere

So many people like tiny ants

gathering around their queen

My dad lay motionless

So indolent the cops stand

I knew

I knew why no one cared

The cops shot him

He screamed

Bleed

For what felt like an eternity

They did nothing

Nothing

I took them to court

No one believes a teenager

The judge dismissed

The cops smirked

That’s moment my trust died

It died in the system
