You offered it like a sacrament, a key to the most fragile room in your soul. And they took that key, not to guard the room, but to plunder it. They used your secret as a punchline at a dinner party. They twisted your past trauma into a weapon during an argument, a way to prove you were “crazy” or “unstable.” They took the map of your fears you had so trustingly drawn for them and used it to navigate directly to the places that would hurt you most.
