I hate my job.

No, that's not right.

I fucking hate my job.

Everyday, I work so hard to prosecute a perv, and all that comes out is another pedophile, pimp, or sick father to go to trial with.

I don't have the enthusiasm I used to have when I first started.

I remember prosecuting little misdemeanor crimes, and finally working my way up to the S.V.U… Affectionately coined the "sex police."

My first case here was really bad… A man set on fire by his adopted son who was molested for years.

Each case after that was worse and worse.

But I learned quickly.

I learned how to not take each case personally, how to deal with the sick perverts that breathed heavily around me, how to put up a cool façade and become the Ice Queen.

With each case more disturbing than the previous, I gave up.

I still did my job of course… in fact rather well, but I was sick of it.

I shut down and became a robot with no feelings because for every guy that I put in jail, there will always be a hundred, maybe a thousand more to take his place.

I give up.
