#100peoplepoems part 36: anonymous

this isn’t just about one person, but it was inspired by one person, whom I will not name.

Very sad today.

Trigger warnings for abuse.

——-
It could be anyone:

We all learn that

The guy in the mac

Waiting in dark alleys

He’s as real as the rest of them.

They’ll hide in plain sight:

We all know that.

The children’s presenter

The selfless fundraiser, 

Even he can’t be trusted.

They’ll manipulate you

We all see that.

The trusted, harmless friend

Who’d never ever use

What they know about you.

But you?

Not you.

Surely not you…

You.
