I'm told I'm too young to not want to see anyone.
Too young to want to be alone.
Too young to dislike people and social gatherings.
But-
I was too young when the disappointment began,
I was too young to be hurt the way I was.
I was too young, too trusting,
I was betrayed by all, left alone
The rest, I let go.
No longer do I trust,
No longer will I try to make small talk
Or put in the extra effort.
You either show me you care
Or I walk.
It's a simple thing many fail to realize.
