The Boy


Hello world,

I'm living in fear.

He won’t stop.

Escaping, Hiding.

Again and Again.

Reporting, Ignoring.

Running scared.

Everyone knows and no one cares.

The ball drops.

Everyone knows and everyone cares.

Excuses, Promises.

It won’t happen again.

More allegations.

Investigations, Indictments.

Everyone’s scared.

Apologies, Promises.

It won’t happen again.

Life moves on.

New news, new problems.

You need to move on.

It won’t happen again.

Everyone forgets,

It’ll happen again.
