I told you what happened because you needed to know
I told you what happened because I needed to let it go
Over zealous attempts to protect me
Will not erase the past; these scars will not disappear
I’m still the person you knew
Yet you treat me like another
Don’t look at me differently
Don’t tread with trepidation
Don’t bristle at the words which sound crude and harsh
Because these are the words, these are the words of my past
But the question remains – as painful as it seems
Have my scars marred your view of me?
I told you what happened, because I thought you needed to know
I told you what happened, but I shouldn’t have done so

Whoa!!! I so connect with what you're saying! A few times, I too have paid a heavy price for honesty and transparency. People are funny. They'd want to know, they 'say' that they appreciate honesty. But when they get it, off they fly the handle. They cannot handle it. And we end up as the losers, feeling helpless and confused, analysing the wisdom in having told them what could've saved both parties a lotta trouble and heartache.
But then out it had to go. And it went.
Don't worry. Let it go. Why shouldn't the world know what you feel. If they're too incompetent to stand their ground, too bad. Pity them.
