BLANK

The world isn't a perfect place. It truly isn't. You see deaths and sadness and chaos. Children die.....children. I grew up seeing children as innocents. Who would want to deliberately hurt babies? It's really baffling. Aleppo....where children have learnt to stop crying. I see the videos and pictures....and in all of them, these children are blank....no reaction. Just blank. I can relate. Now I hear of chemical attacks. Why??!!! I see bodies of little dead children being carried away to be buried. I see them. I am blank....I want to cry but the tears don't come. Then I hear of the rape of 12 year old boy and his assailant was only charged #30,000 and 1 month imprisonment. Just imagine. Where do people even get the guts to apologize for evil doing under the guise of 'family'? To the best of my knowledge, family should protect you....not hurt you. I can't hurt my sister. She's family. But I hear stories like this every day. A man beats the wife he promised to love and protect for the rest of his life, to death. Unimaginable right? It's more saddening because we now see this as norms. A man beats his wife and family 'forces' him to apologize and all is well. Aleppo now seems normal. No one is talking about it anymore. The chemical attacks? Like Hiroshima and Nagasaki was not enough. Then our President. I'm just tired. But as long as we are alive, I'm not permitted to be. Infact, this world is not my home.
