It's not just the falsely accused <br />That suffer <br />It's the children, the parents <br />The sister, the brother. <br /> <br />It's not just the horror <br />Of a person's false claim, <br />It's the band-wagon jumpers <br />That blacken your name <br /> <br />It's not just suspicion <br />That causes your hell <br />It's the following and hounding <br />That compounds it as well. <br /> <br />It's not just observing <br />But making it known <br />To the local community <br />Accusations were thrown <br /> <br />I hit rock bottom, <br />A deep, dark despair <br />I reached out for someone, <br />But no-one was there. <br /> <br />Somehow, I got through it <br />Came out the other side <br />With all the emotions <br />Of the rockiest ride. <br /> <br />A time to feel anxious, <br />A time to cry <br />A time best forgotten, <br />Moved on from, passed by<br /><br />vanessa hughes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-darkest-hour-10/
