"The Real Victim Here"
This poem deals with two separate yet interconnected things
The first thing, though it does not come up first in the poem is a person's inability to healthily deal with their past , to the point where it becomes destructive to themselves and those around them (You hold the past like a gun, and you pulled the trigger)
The second part which in is mentioned first, for the sake of the actual story in the poem, is people's ability to be comfortable with other people being destructive to those around them. Not wanting to tread on toes or hurt feelings. (just make sure the music keeps playing and try not to look at the blood on the ground). I've noticed often times people take lightly these situations or ignore them completely (never mind.... just keep dancing and get on your dancing shoes...).
While both attitudes are unhealthy and selfish to a point, I think the second is worse, because an apathetic attitude is enabling the other person to not have to deal with their problems. If you have the ability to step into a situation and change it for the better and you are just as responsible as the other person if not more so (in the case that person cannot/will not change themselves and need outside help in order to do so) This of course an refer to global justice, but in this case, I'm talking about things on a much more personal level.
