victim services.

so today in my prison life class
we had special guests from
the victim services of the TDOC
who discussed the other end
of the spectrum
everyone forgets about the person
who was killed
and the people who
loved them and focus on
the murderers and perpetrators

but luckily, TDOC offers
an amazing array of victim services
to give them closure
and a means to heal and try to move on

and while i was in class listening
and taking notes i couldnt help
but wonder
who is available
to give me closure
and counsel me and give me
a reason to move on
a reason to believe

but what if the perpetrator
who beats me up
who tears me down
who leaves my self esteem in
pieces on the ground
is no one 
but me
