The People I Thought I Knew

A Poem

By Natasja RosePublished about a year ago • 1 min read

Once, I thought I knew you

Someone to respect and admire.

Did you ever exist at all?

Was I just blinded by your fire?

Masks removed, facade broken

Was any of it ever even real?

Was it hiding, waiting to be woken

Do you care for the betrayal I feel?

I grieve in silence, for the friends now lost

Even if it was never true

I loved them still, that friendship past,

And the people I thought I knew.

I've been writing since I learned how, but those have been lost and will never see daylight (I hope).

I'm an Indie Author, with 30+ books published.

I live in Sydney, Australia
