Now new things imprison me,
But the questions stop me
Like with every other thing I do
But I restrain myself
Because I don’t want to do something out of character,
Or at least what’s not expected of me
If only they knew how much in character that is
But what if it doesn’t work?
I still dwell in the scarred aftermath
Of remembering when I was first noticed
At the point of my most insecurity
But he left me because I wasn’t a whore
Like that was what he wanted.
And after trying to get over that
I had a new enemy: The one person
That should have been protecting me
But whose views are biased and skewed
That I couldn’t trust her reasoning.
So I began limiting my interaction with the world
Minus the company of those I deem worst off than me
But only if their pain is self-inflicted
But then I shut out the wrong people.
Now I’ve lost confidence in everyone I ever trusted
So where do I turn?
Another confidant will run away like all the rest.
God is my back-up plan for when
There is no where else to turn.
