A juvenile excuse

"For the juvenile who went in by mistake"

A juvenile excuse

“A juvenile excuse” she screamed

Looking at me about to leap

 

Holding my hand she pulled out a key

Using it on the chains beneath

 

I couldn’t say I hadn’t done

The horrible crimes that stood in front

Blood splattered on my face

Hiding away my innocence

 

Killed my maid the lady says

The lady taking me to jail

In truth it was the maid’s mistake

 

The cuffs were tight

Behind my head

But all I could do

Was stand straight

 

She pushed me down

And I lay on the ground

Placing my head in the dirty mud

 

Her boot she placed on my back

Pushing it with all her might

Asking me why the maid had died

 

Hands behind, I screamed a lie

“I’m sorry but I made her die”

Lying was better than the painful fight

I rather go to jail and cry

Ah! I see why now. This piece is harder for me to read. Its tone much more striking to me, more intense more graphic. Emotional in a scary way. Yes, my fear comes alive in my body when i read this one. I see. Interesting. It stirs up craziness in me. In mean the whole situation sounds nuts. fighting for life. no way out. powerless. your writing draws out and relies on strong imagery. so you do well in its exploit. "caught" in that moment... your story forces my eyes to open... my heart to have to feel... those moments for me. powerful emotional. kinda sledgehammer like. good piece. keep the fires going.

You are most welcome.

A sad and powerful poem. I like the ending. Better to admit the truth and serve the time in prison. The poem was short and left a lot of unknown. A fast reading that made the reader think. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
