Wary of the World
Why am I so wary of the world?
I don’t trust anything, anyone.
I feel so distant, so detached.
And so, so tired.
Tired of expecting to be hurt.
Tired of carrying on when I do get hurt.
Tired of being tired.
Tired of not caring enough to save myself.
I don’t want to see tomorrow,
Because I already know it’ll be exhausting and painful.
Since when was I this wary?
Since when did I expect hurt around every corner?
What happened to the innocent girl who saw “tomorrow” as a synonym for “hope”?
What happened to the girl who saw the brightest future?
And more importantly:
Where did the girl who wants to give up so badly come from?
