You can trust me as much as you can trust a chimpanzee by Fiona Goodwin

You cannot trust a human being,
I’m not being cynical,
But under pressure I will crumble,
When I’m cornered I will bite,
Where I have no self-worth
I will withdraw my love from you
Because I won’t believe I am worthy
And finally, if my wound is abandonment,
I will always make sure that I leave you before you leave me.
That’s why none of us can be trusted
Except where we have gone down into the pain
And healed our wounds.
If you are not interested in your scars
If you have not made friends with your betrayals
You are a ticking bomb and your heart and  my heart
Are not safe in your hands.
