BASED ON A MISTRUST
 

Not trusting someone,
so common today,
afraid to say,
so, we just shy away.

Keeping the feelings,
so deep inside,
the hurt we've known,
the pain we hide.

But, do we trust ourself,
to ever trust again,
do we live in the fear,
of what has been?

Perhaps the problem,
is not with "them",
maybe it is US,
and, can we trust again?

based on a mistrust, but,,,was it me you didn't trust, or was it you?  For, if we deal with fighting against being controlled by not trusting, we put ourselves in this position, we will never be loved until we can love ourself, and we will never love ourself until we can trust ourself, and we will never trust ourself, if our FEAR of being hurt is so strong it disables our ability to play the game of life, and if one never plays the game, the chances of ever winning do not exist. Because I care.....

Today as anew,
never been before,
so, believe in you,
and give LIFE a chance.

For if you have dreams,
of a life full of you,
strange as it seems,
it is a thought away.

The thought is with you,
to play, or to quit,
it is all you can do,
life is yours to control.
