Still believes

 From I'm good, I'm happy, I lik...

There's a little girl inside me.

She still believes in fairness.

She still believes that people who break others

should face consequences.

But the world does not work that way.

She asks, "Why do the ones who hurt us the most

get to live without guilt?"

And I don't know what to tell her.

I want to tell her that life is fair,

that people always get what they deserve.

But I can't lie to her like that.

Because the truth is,

they're out there living their lives,

laughing, moving forward, forgetting.

While we are here,

stuck in the ruins they left behind.

And it's cruel,

but it's real.

And I don't know how to make peace with that.
