Nemesis

Angelina Kristine Wonsch 1974 (Dallas Texas)

Free verse
They used me for my body.
They used me for my brains. They used me for the things they had to gain. I trusted them. Sometimes even lusted for them. Being used and often abused; what more must I lose. What gives them the right?  All I have left is my life. I must stand and win this fight. Saving me from one evil place another I now much face. Introducing me to my greatest nemesis, you turn on me in the illusion of innocence.

About this poem

This poem was written during a critical turning point in my life. I did not sit with the intention of writing poetry. The words flowed onto the paper without thought or intention of writing a poem. I express the feelings of betrayal and abandonment that played into events that forever changed the course of my life.
