A lament
My trust in people
Has been eroded
For when I needed help
I instead was scolded
I was branded with
The mark of incompetence
Derided for my
Lack of resilience
I opened up
Exposed my emotions
They stabbed my heart
With a black poison
Now their voices are
Inscribed in my mind
And I must forever wonder
If they were right
Dawn & Dusk
