i am giving myself redemption

you ran out of that classroom
your face was red and your eyes forward with purpose
i don't know what happened, but in some ways i understand
i almost sneered, happy in someone's pain
but i am not a cruel beast, even when i should be
i was confused at first, not knowing all the context
but i was sad most of all
Because i know your wrath, and i share it just the same in many ways
i was just sad that i wanted to sneer
sneer at your suffering
