What comes up, must come out...

What is it about me
that doesn't seem to get
how to be with other people?

Or is it them
and their wounding
hurting themselves on me

my intention is pure
yet apparently deviates
from the standardized
sanitized
offical
rulebook
of human interaction

This is dangerous territory
I feel like there's a lot at stake.

I feel like I have yet to learn
how to maintain safe boundaries for others
and maintain my sense of authenticity
simultaneously.

I don't even know what happened yet
and I feel so sad that someone was hurt by my actions.
