  Betrayed


how dare you
write my life
in your words
as if you knew
as if you could
see straight to my soul
where are you hiding
how could you know
so many unlimited details
some that are right on target
some so far off the mark
how can you pretend
to know me so well
so much like me
so much unlike me
at all
sharing
my secrets
stroking my dreams
painting my horrors
exposing such nakedness
all without thought
of any consequence
that comes in sharing
information's
truths and untruths

Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats

Sometimes we see ourselves in things that weren't even meant for us. Such an easy thing to relate to what someone writes. Well Done
