Worse When Betrayed By Family

It hurt very bad. When land was taken away. Betrayal complete. Land is not worth it. Land surveyor wonders why, Reasons were selfish. Just give least amount. For granting right of way road Cannot build house now. Don't want to live there. Too close to my family. The ones who betrayed.

It sure is and understandable not to want to live close. Sorry you had to experience that. If this is an entry to the Betrayal contest, I wish you good luck on the contest. Thanks for sharing and thank you for your comments on mine. Best wishes, Caroline.

Is this one in the betrayal contest, Marty. It reminds me of a show I once saw on this topic of people signing over land and betraying relatives. Thanks for reading that long "story poem" of mine. Now you see why I can't do free verse usually. It just looks ends up looking like a story! It was the one I wanted to use for the contest, but it was way too long, so I will take some people's advice and use my rose poem I think. Luv ya, Andrea
