Leave me alone.

I didn't know I was making myself look so bad.

I thought I was being friendly and putting fear to rest.

So, now I'm closed off.

My life is none of anyone else's business, and if people are going to disrespect me when I let them enter my business I ask they leave and never return.

Please, and thank you.

I know I said I may have problems I'm now acting like I don't.

That was me saying I'm still good, but I've gotten myself into a mess people are determining how best to clean up.

I'm going to take responsibility if need be, but I don't know if I'm going to have to.

I didn't have to.

I didn't have to inform anyone.

I could have just sat there looking dangerous, never engaging in conversation, and letting the world around me go nuts wondering what type of person I am.

 

I was trying to be nice.

I was giving an inch.

The kindness was taken advantage of.

Now, after being dragged a mile down the road the cats grip on my tongue has worn off enough to discuss how I've been hurt very bad.

It made me very mad.

Someone's lucky I don't like me when I'm angry.

I want to live like the problems are nothing more than water under the bridge.

I want to get over this.

But, life has this amazing ability to take a seed of truth and grow it into a tree of lies.

I don't care when it's someone else under scrutiny.

I think it's a laugh riot.

I care deeply now.

How many falsehoods have I inadvertently spread thinking I was sharing life saving information I'd received?

How many lives have I had a hand in ruining?

All of this why?

Chocolate Sandwich, you said that your life is none of anybody else's business.

But I've found in life that some people really do want to help you and anyone else going through a rough time.

And just knowing that can give you comfort, some peace, and happiness.

One of the first things I learned about life is people's opinions rarely matter, and only take in constructive criticism. Your own life is no one's business if you're not harming other in the process of living it. I found that you have to be somewhat apathetic to the world around you. If you don't it will consume you.

This is neither poem nor is it tirade. I was overwhelmed with memories of first giving up Alcohol and trying to gain acceptance in AA meetings. I opened up to wolves in sheep's clothing, and they ended up running my name through the mud. I'm beyond the initial sting of finding out just because the corporate motto is anonymity doesn't mean all the employees have bought in. I learned a lot, but it's cost me a lot. These are just a few tears stemming from another trip through the ringer I didn't see coming. Thanks for the kind words.
