People

I’m typically a social person

But I don’t like it

They suffocate you

They surround you

They don’t let you speak

They get you into trouble

They’re dishonest

They fight

They yell and scream

They’re unfair

They’re stupid

They’re petty

They’re vain

They lie

They abandon you

They’re rude

They blame you

They don’t have your back

They’re deceptive

They trick you

They make you think you can actually be happy again

They heal you

They heal your heart

Then they smash it into millions of tiny shards

And they leave

People are terrible

People are vain

People are untrustworthy

People lie

And people cheat

People are terrible, terrible creatures
