It's been so many years
But the time feels irrelevant
I've been suffering so long
That it almost feels short
A small part of my life
Though having lasted long
And now I realize
If I want to seek a report
Get a police re-investigation
Go to court
Perhaps sue for emotional distress
I only have two months
Before the years catch up
And it will have been too long
To do anything about it.

Time, procrastination, hesitation, decision where courage and discretion weigh in the balance nicely written.
Thank you for reading my out-of-practice poetry!
True poetry can not be out of practice for it comes from the heart that is always beating
What a beautiful line...
If one looses fear everything one says becomes truth and beauty
A very difficult decision to make, feeling you want justice, understanding to try to put the pain to bed, then on the other hand do I really want to relive it all. I faced a similier situation many years ago, I chose to leave it and even to this day I am not sure I made the right decision. Wishing you all the best
Thank you very much for reading, and for your advice
You are very welcome
The Statute of Limitations applies to crimes formally, but yes it applies to the events of our lives and what we do about them... wait to long and the remedies may be barred... welcome back.
Thank you so much for reading
