Friendships proved conditional. Love disappointed.
Truth and power were misused for selfish ends.

It didn’t seem right to simply forgive and forget.
That would feel like defeat, or betraying your values.

But what if justice still isn’t served?
What happens next?

You’ve analyzed the injustice from every possible angle.
The clearer it becomes, the more unacceptable it feels.

Your initial reaction has long since passed.
But the resentment keeps flaring back up.

This isn’t a passing emotion anymore.
Further contemplation will only fan the flames.
