i know many people
quite a large number i can consider friends
a very small number i can talk to
i live in fear of opening up too far to someone
they can use my information against me
in so many ways

as someone who has been through a bit
that bit can be used in different ways
to get me to do things or not do them
even inadvertently this happens

because of past relations
i find it hard to move forward

i need to acknowledge it all happened
at least what i remember
and remind myself
this is not your fault
what happened has happened

there is no changing the past
only working towards a better future
