PISTANTHROPHOBIC

I had friends who watched me stand tall,

And stayed even in my downfall.

I had friends whom I trusted most,

But left me at my worst.

I had friends who betrayed me,

For what was obviously temporary.

Friends I treated like family,

Unaware that they didn’t really want me.

My heart, now made of stone,

Prefers to be left alone.

I’ve had enough of this tic tac toe,

I don’t trust anyone’s lies anymore.

People do come knocking,

Hoping to break the walls I’m building

But all the betrayals have taught me,

The truth hurts more than what’s coming

I can’t be a fool forever,

Sharing secrets to a stranger.

I’m not anyone’s pet anymore,

I’ve learbed to become stronger.

I have learned where to put myself,

When things get a little stuffy.

When ny presence becomes a burden,

And company an annoyance.
