{"post":"Unguarded boundaries
I have one olive branch left
They others extended my kindness
Left boundaries ignored
They walked through the front door
Disguised in Bible verses,
Woke philosophies
But something was off
I was naive
It was New Yearâs Eve
I couldnât believe
How the year ended
Over doses
Countless funerals
Marched and protest
Now empty accounts
Whose to blame
My patience spent
My kindness over drafted
But
It was I that didnât guard my boundaries
My walls arenât as long as the Great Wall of China
Or as secure as the Berlin Wall once was
Definitely not as secure as plantations
But
I should of
Could of
Protect myself more
I wonât quit caring
I wonât quit sharing
To earn my trust
One must
Make it through a maze
Emotional obstacle course
Intellectual scavenger hunts
And Maybe then will I trust
But
The memory of this pain
Of betrayal
A friendship derailed
Have me thinking of philosophically puzzles
That will trip Red flags
Staying the red
More than Bushâs terror warnings
The feelings of fragile Republican conservatives
Those that hurt you be close like relatives
Or relatives
Itâs all relative
Iâm isolate
Ease on out the gate
But
Until then
Healing takes time
So
The road paved to my trust
Is filled with land mines
