Arrested - Numb Pt. 25
As the night went on, I became more and more aware of my surroundings. All the emotions were making their way back, into my head, my soul. I was becoming fully present to the situation I was in. I was arrested… Holy shit!!! And, it wasn’t a slap on the wrist either, it was a serious conviction… possession for the purpose. And, for that reason there was no mercy.

And, as much as I found satisfaction in fucking with them, I just wanted out of the whole thing. I just wanted to began recovering, healing, emotionally that is. And I was so thankful that in just a few hours it would be Monday; and I would be given the opportunity to go home… finally for once, in a really long time, all I wanted was to go home…
