The mind
Always wandering
Eyes always searching
The heart always wondering
Who to let in.

When you experienced bad things with people you once trusted you change,
Trust can be difficult sometimes .

she didn't
stab me in the back
the way that people
have in the past.

she looked me
right in my eyes
and stabbed me
in my chest.



she didn't
backstab me.

she stabbed me
mid-sentence, when
I was still talking and
still trusting her



and then she
watched me die.

You came into my life slowly. Subtlety. Patiently.
All I can say is things blossomed between us.
The small bud opened up into a beautiful flower.
Soaking up the vibrate sunlight.
each day growing bigger and stronger.
Time passed and seasons changed.
The flower starts to wilt but not with weakness but with vulnerability and trust.
For it knows the sun will still shine and other flowers will bloom.
our hearts opened.
our minds grew with understanding and trust.
our souls soared.
Heart. Mind. Soul.

He is the end of her.
He is her friend!
What friend lies?
All of them?
Some of them?
None of them?

She is a punching bag?
She is not.
She does not know.

But now?

Now I look back.
And I see the light.
I see the light, and I know the truth.
But I will never know one thing.

Why?

No matter.
I am here, I am now.
I am not happy, but I am not sad.
I am here. I am now.

And that’s what matters.

She is a pure soul, she is an angel,
She likes to talk with people, but doesn't,
And recites stories like she is a fable.
She likes to walk in the woods, but doesn't.

She is a baby, an innocent one,
She trusted them and got betrayal,
She is a cure for all but none,
She likes to believe in others, but doesn't.

One fine day she cried all night,
She likes to smile all day, but doesn't,
And tries to do good things all time,
She likes to help others, but doesn't.

Her emotions flow like water does,
She likes to care for others, but doesn't,
The stories of her life and love,
She likes to share with others, but doesn't.

Darkness will dwindle, slowly but surely,
The sun will shine on her one day.
She is strong, she knows that well
She will rise above all one day.
A girl who was betrayed by those she trusted. Now, she keeps to herself and is reluctant to do things she used to do earlier because of tragic past experiences.

Learning to trust for the first time
After years of abuse
From those in position of power
Who should have known better.
Hope,
Faith,
Freedom from doubt,
Complete confidence in another.
But how can you trust
When you never really know
What’s going on inside another?

I cast my line and reel in my bait
I cast my line and it's a snake
I cast my line, a reprobate
How much longer till I break

Patience is not a lesson I care for
I like waiting even less
I say, "that's enough", You say, "there is more"
- I'm breaking, I must confess

Vice on my heart, squeezing out tears
Thoughts are swirling all of my fears
Ripples in the pond spread out from my float
All goes still, there is a lump in my throat

Chin in my hand
Slumped and alone
My pole, unmanned
Heart's monotoned

I have cast in shallow waters
And reeled in dregs
Wandered forbidden corridors
And near lost legs

How much longer must I wander?

I trust You not to tip my boat
Believe You've brought me where I float
You've kept my rod from breaking
But not my hands from aching
It's the catch that I doubt
It's all one endless bout

I'm trying to practice trust
Though my heart's dusted with crust

Fishing, endless fishin'
Waiting on fruition
Fishing, oh, endless fishin'
Perhaps I'll reposition
