I dared to go against the tide.
It threatened to pull me under.
The looks, the condemnation. The unrelenting shaming by the tide that declared me a danger to society.
Yet I continued to stand, resolute.
Now they cry forgiveness, how we should all stand together.
This, after wishing me and all like me, death.
They didn’t know, their vile words were spoken in ignorance.
The crowd mentality was upon them. Piggy needed to die. Their sharpened sticks in hand they were the ones in the right.
Now they see. Now they know.
And want us to forgive them. This while the narrative, try’s to shovel dirt over their crimes.

Really just an amateur trying my hand at this.
It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
