Can I trust you
The way I’ve trusted
Those
Before
You?
For the first time
The world looks
Like a
Dangerous
Place
The lens shifts
From rosy
To grey
I have
Believed
Something good
About humans
With a complexity that
Shapes each life
And now this
Monochrome
Film
Covers my eyes
And I see something
Plain
And dark
And worth fearing
Do I know you
In my soul
With my intuition
In my gut
Or am I a fool
To believe
That you wouldn’t
Break my heart
That I won’t become
Another song
Another movie
Another shattered being
Is it a right of passage
That I’ve never endured
Perhaps it’s a lesson
I've been waiting
To understand
Trust
Fear
Hope
Resiliency
Soul
Path
Healing
Where I sit now
Is in between the lenses
The way that
A dreary day
Makes your eyes squint
With cloudy
Overcast
Light
I readjust the glasses
Over and over
Again
Trying to find the
Position
That both
protects me
And let’s me see
With clarity
What lies ahead
