Treachery

Show me

How to exist in a world that hates me

A world that

tells me I’m worth  more

than my body

land of the free

home of the brave

You have

unsurprisingly

betrayed me once again.

About This Piece

I wrote this piece from a place of fear, anger, and unknowing. As I watch the state of our country unfold unpredictably and chaotically, I tend to find solace in my writing, and I hope you can too.
