I don’t want

To always worry about how untrusting people can be.

I want to have connections and not worry when the coin will drop.

I’m a closed book until I hope you are worthy of knowing all my secrets.

But lately, I realize humankind isn’t how it used to be, and the people I react with now are up in the air.

It’s like, do I want to get to know them because it seems they already show so many different sides to others?

While I’m showing just me to them all, at least the side you see when I’m happy, frustrated, and tired, I try not to get angry about things I can’t control at work.

And trust me, keeping to myself is a lot harder when everyone wants to talk, and I like silence and a book.

And I just can’t be rude, so conversations happen, and then you get involved in a web of she said, and he said, and you want to be in a peaceful environment, but the world seems to live off of drama and anxiety these days.

Where did the peaceful environment go where disagreements and agreements are okay and respect is still around?
