Poem: I’ve changed for the worst…

Look… I’ve changed

I can no longer trust people

With big smiles

And gentle touches

I’ve changed…

I no longer see hope

For me on the romantic side of things

Nobody can tell me

“You can trust me”

Without me

Raising an eyebrow

Because people have tried me

Proved me right everytime

That’s it not

Always as it seems

I’ve been betrayed by friends

I was uplifting

But their hidden envy

Didn’t get the message

Pushed under buses

Left out in the cold

By people I thought cared

See I’ve changed

No longer will I be a victim

Of the hands of these fake smiles

I am older and wiser now

The things I trust are actions

Because “I love you”

Isn’t always the reality

The pain I felt each time

Has made me numb

No more shock

It’s expected

See these people broke me

Because my brain knew

But my heart misinterpreted

Chance after chance

I gave…

Hoping new people

Would give my heart a break

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case

So don’t get frustrated

Because I’m not an open book

Im not an easy target

Im guarded

I have to

Because I’ve changed…

~I’ve changed for the worst
