Shattered

This is a poem I wrote on February 2, 2009, and it's from the point of view of a speaker who has learned that nothing in their life was as it seemed.


All that I thought was true
Turned out to be lies
All that I thought was reality
Was nothing more than fantasy
All that I thought I could depend on
Turned out to be unreliable
And now all the misconceptions I have had
About my life
Have been shattered
