I gaslit myself

Into thinking I was right

But it was all lies

Thanks for reading!

This is inspired by Alyson Smith's challenge of writing a haiku a day for 50 days inspired by songs and lyrics that are special to her.

So this is my fourth entry, inspired by Me Ves y Sufres by Hope of the States. Sorry, not of a dark and introspective one.

Tina D. Lopez has also been doing this challenge.

Make sure you check out both their poems at their profiles.
