Betrayal

Betrayal. It’s what you suffered today. The worst part: it was from you. You thought it would come from anybody else, but not yourself.  Someone can only betray you if he or she is close to you, otherwise, it isn’t betrayal. It’s just someone who wronged you. Some stranger you don’t know, committing some crime against you, that you can take. That you can get over, but betrayal is a much deeper cut with a much stronger poison. So, by definition, if betrayal is something that can only be committed by one close to you, doesn’t it come as no surprise that you betrayed yourself the most? Who is closer to you than you? Who knows your thoughts other than you?
