they say i'm a hard girl; 
hard to please, 
hard to talk to, 
hard to handle- 
because they don't know 
where easy got me. 
he fed me lies upon lies, 
vomiting my secrets across
the floor leaving only
a  bitter aftertaste of 
betrayal hanging in the air; 
the weight on my shoulders
dragging me down into the depths 
as the traitor takes his leave. 
they said i was a hard girl; 
hard to understand-
because i washed 
my backstory in a river and let 
the letters bleed into each other, 
because no one cares acknowledges 
damage that only leaves a bruise.

just because i've been healed doesn't mean i don't remember the pain i felt. 
i refuse to go through that again, so i guess thats what makes it so hard to get to know me
