Reading people is hard
Today you can't tell
What their thoughts are
Much less the intentions
There are bad people
My trust and faith
For humanity as a whole
Is diminishing to nothing
There's the few kind souls
That I trust with my life
The ones who I feel
Would do anything to keep me safe
Work gave me a sense of joy
And a sense of safety
Till one night it all changed
I didn't feel safe anywhere anymore
What do you do
When your safe place isn't safe after all
As I told the story
Again and again
My anxiety was high
I had a bad feeling
In my stomach, the taste in my mouth
I knew you would try to protect me
I didn't want anything to happen
You can't trust anyone
I was terrified
I feel so vulnerable
Out in the open
So tell me, dear
Can I trust you?
Or are you gonna break me too?
I just want an honest person
Just one that I can trust
Please, protect me, keep me safe

DiversosThis is my shitty poetry book to help sort through the thoughts and feelings coursing through me. Some of it probably isn't real poetry but just words. NOTE: There will not be regular updates.
