is /
the reflection looking back on its own gaze /
the other side of the action plan /
those who fail upward finally failing down /
feet held to flames / power brought low /
justice served / reconciliation had /
poison pills swallowed /
daydreams manifested / hearts set free /
rich irony / intended sarcasm /
resolve in the shadow of the gallows /
proof of their wrongness /
never looking back / systems dismantled /
trust restored / community built /
contrition / retribution /
a blade / a hammer /
the knowledge that goodness will prevail / time will tell /
the truth off your chest / loving yourself despite it all
