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

I’m walking on my failure
Like the water in the sea
Out there I see my Sailor
He is calling out to me
All I need is meager trust
That His grace won’t let me sink
On His boat is written Just
No water removes that ink

One day the gods will stumble,
The universe will crumble,
Death tolls will be double,
Earth will only be rubble,
And gravity will be fubble

The same day the oxygen will become toxic
As will trust
Become trustable
Never understood how those closest to you, are never as close. Growing up *****. Noticing things more delicately, *****. Life in general *****, but every now and then something to appreciate comes along

I wanted love and a soulmate
He was kind and really funny
And with a smile that could have females swooning over him
As i got to know him more
He became distant and toxic
I was blind to it all
I keep telling myself that he wasn't like the rest
I heavily believed in forgiveness
And second chances
I really thought he was the one
To sweep me off my feet and away from the crude world we live in
But i was living in a dream, hoping on a fairy tale to come true
But the real world is cruel and fearful
He eventually got tired and bored of me
And threw me anyway like i was trash
Like i was a little game for him when he got bored
Tell me Why should i trust or try
When everyone leaves and breaks me in the end

Love is bitter from age and neglect
Chains to bear breaking my back
Eyes deceive, thoughts betray
Tongues lie, souls decay
Words, like fire, torture and burn
Fire is soothing, pain must be earned
Ears distrust like lifeblood flows
Time is unending, destructive, and slow

Ok, I lied, maybe ONE more throwback!

I wish
Everyone should know
A basic

A basic
Recipe of happiness

In love
One naturally trusts
And when
The soul is in fire
Let there be love
Let there be us
Endlessly
