A/N: This is my most recent poem, as of tonight - and I don't know if you guys will really like it because you might not relate to it well. I apologize in advance for it not being explicitly related to Rookie Blue. I mean, it kind of fits, but this will be the last "off topic" post I make. Promise. I did just recently make a Fiction Press account, thanks to the recommendation of one of my kind readers - I appreciate that so much! However, the uploading portion of that site is not accessible to me yet because I'm so new. Anyway, I'll stop rambling - and regardless of whether or not it's directly related to RB, I'd love to hear what you think, so if you read it, please feel free to give me feedback. :)

Respect and Integrity seem to have faded,
Manners were lost, society's degraded.
Evil and malice have consumed part of us,
And you begin to question who you can trust.
...
Life isn't perfect, in fact it's far from it.
Others who object still don't quite understand this,
But there is some darkness yet; Believe me, it's there.
So if you have to subscribe to a theory, let it be that "Life's not fair."
...
I found all this out the hard way one night,
When my role model - my mentor, brought it to light.
I saw their perspective, the way they viewed things,
And I remember my heart sinking, along with so many other feelings.
...
They built up a wall, to guard their emotions.
They set their expectations low to avoid disappointment.
How far will one go to escape from the pain?
And will these attempts work? Or drive you insane?
...
I mean - I see the logic, the intentions behind it;
You're emotionally restricted, and for good reason - I'll admit.
But what are you losing along the way?
Are there consequences to this? A price to pay?
...
One thing I know for sure is that it distances you,
From the ones who love you most, the ones that are true.
But through this mindset, how can you tell?
How can you differentiate the good and bad from inside that shell?
...
There's a real possibility there'll be collateral damage;
A hell of a lot more than you can fix with some figurative bandage.
By shutting yourself out, you're cutting off more than what's "unfair."
And it's heart-wrenching because though I know differently deep down, it seems like you don't care.
...
So, I'm just giving you my personal insight...
And even though it's hard, I wish that you'll fight,
For this life that we live - each day and each night,
Because we're all that we have - regardless of whether everything else is wrong or right.
