Naivety

One's disrespect for power and control regularly 
Greets me with different names yet they have
Similar narcissistic traits. Naivety 

Innocence lost, cloudy judgments, trust broken,
Smiling faces wearing masks, stabbed slowly 
Hidden masks, and ulterior motives yet in time 
The facade will soon reveal that time is the truth 
Naivety 

Emotionally injected, mentally, and physically raped.
Humiliation lies deeply suffocating and imprinted 
with distress assuming I was being protected and 
guarded by someone I entrusted. Naivety
