four years ago
when my doctor asked
if i was sexually active
i truly believed
i never would be

i couldn't imagine
allowing a man
that close to me
let alone consenting
to any person
coming in contact with me

i have a harder time than most
simply letting people in
i have a harder time
navigating the world i'm in

i hold back tears
when others are closer
than i'm comfortable
with them being
even if they're not pursuing me

i don't let just anyone in
there must be something
worthy about you
if i do or if i did
