Justice is just a word.

“It has been over 5 years
And I can smell the fresh paint

All I have wanted is to face the allegations
held against me
Whilst isolated in deprivation
From justice
From love
From witness
From connection beyond a haunted screen

Today I face some
Truly they are worse than I could have imagined
And this Trauma is the truth I carefully wished for
Desperately begged for

Please pray for my panel review
That I be seen as I am
Not as I have been spoken of
In coerced
Forced
Absence.”
