Turned myself in

Elahe

I cant make up my mind

about which has got the right?

The psycho who killed a girl?
Or the victim of abuse who became a murderer?
 he comes from a place called home but feels like hell
Course that's no excuse for why he murdered her 
The boy's got mental issues but his mother was the nurturer


Is he a drug dealer who ruins so many lives
Or a southside kid who was born and raised among drugs guns and knives?


Are they bad parents or just a reflection of their owns?

Whatever it is ,doesn't make the child less of a lone

Back in a rainy long night 
She was drunk driving and hit a guy
Would it be so terrible to run and hide?
But she just got drunk over a cheater partner and heard her father might soon die


Is she a burglar who has got no mercy?
But the first time، the crime was committed for an emergency
got nothing to eat or nowhere to sleep
Her choices were to become a prostitute or someone who steals?


Did the father left his family without even looking back
Or he was under so much pressure but too proud to crack?


Every story has the other side of it
Who can be the judge of it?
Change your perspective to see both sinner and victim in you
We all deserve glory but punishment too
I though for hours about each
And eventually turned myself in
