Disappointment

It’s something we all struggle with.

We get our hopes up,

then someone lets us down.

We are sorry we ever trusted them,

for they have committed a legal crime.

Sure you don’t get in trouble

with the cops,

with the state,

but you do get in trouble.

On a much deeper level.

You get in trouble

with your friends,

with your family,

you do get in trouble,

on a much deeper level.

Legal crimes are the worst,

not forgivable.

Would you rather be

sentenced to death literally,

or sentenced to a life without people?

What is life without people to enjoy the ride with?
