Betrayal
by Lisa Noe

Stop! behold, I've been betrayed,
within, without, there is no doubt.
teardrops fall like pools
and I feel like such a fool.

He, I thought was a friend
on someone which I could depend.
the police further victimized me
they ask me could I not see.

Law enforcement is not like it's portrayed
on the television like it is played.
the perpetrator has all of the rights
while the victim has to fight and fight.

I have always had much respect for the law
but it is easy to see that my respect was raw.
my family gave much respect
to end up with many regrets.
