The greatest betrayal would not be the closest friend I have
destroying every bond we shared;

Nor the severing of family ties
out of anger, spite, or hate;

Nor the cunning ploy instrumented
by a clever trickster;

Nor the vengeful jab of rage or jealousy
of an unsuspected ally.

But rather, the greatest betrayal of all
would be to turn back on myself
to seek comfort and acceptance
instead of fighting for my freedom
