I Prefer Not To Have Contact With You

Somewhere along the line,
I taught myself to believe that no person
Is any better than any other person.

You proved me wrong.

If you are trash,
If you surround yourself with trash,
If you surround yourself with liars and scum bags,
The mentally unwell,
Narcissistic sociopaths;
If everyone you know seems to live life
With the expectation of being judged
And who fail to see the good
In you who accept them wholesale --
You become trash.

Even the best swimmer can be dragged down by those they wish to save
