presumption of innocence

Proof lies on him who asserts, not on him who denies
~ Julius Paulus Prudentissimus

I am selfish and social.

Invisible to how my actions may look to you,
I see clearly your every false move
And seek justice and revenge
Feeling intensely the results of your misconduct
Yet knowing nothing of how my own misdeeds affect you.

I am the victim,
Born to justify and excuse myself, exercising perfect judgment
When it comes to my own freedom
More than I will ever be able to pardon you yours.
I am not pointing the finger at you.
I am looking at myself.
