A wonderful bird is the Pelican, Its beak can hold more than its belly ...

Thoughts from Court
by Isabel Hughes
I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth…
You lied,
you scorned,
you laughed,
you hurt,
you scared,
you hit and you punched.
You were the leader of despair,
the eye of crime,
the follower of sorrow.
You left a path of hopelessness and
destruction in your wake,
spilling sorrow and woe onto innocent
people.
I saw all of this,
and still
I was naive enough to allow you into my
life,
my soul,
my past,
my present,
my future.
I thought you would stop if you had
someone to live for,
but instead you inflicted it on me.
I gave up my friends,
my family and my livelihood for you.
And you repaid me with loneliness,
fear and scares.
You ripped at my heart,
hit my face,
opened my insecurities.
But worst of all,
you hurt my family,
you hurt my friends,
you damaged my past, present and future.

For this
I will never forgive you,
and I will be the first to stop you.
I am the first to stand up to you.
I am one of many,
but I am the first example.
I am the reason that no-one will forget,
I will not live in fear of you and neither
will anyone else.
I am the example no-one will forget,
and I am the one to ruin you.
