Trust

It's hard to trust people
For I fear abandonment
From those close to me
My mind in dismantlement

Not sure what to think
If I should follow you
Or run far away
From the longest queue

A different message each time
A path will forge ahead
Yet not knowing what I find
A part me will dread

A ride into danger
A fall into the fire
So scorches my inner soul
This is getting dire

A question I need to ask
An answer I need to say
I yearn for a word
But yet wait another day

Afraid to get hurt
Afraid to be seen
Afraid of it all
Lost in between

This fear I need to vanquish
This enemy I need to end
A shadow I need to fight
My heart is on the mend

I dream of sweet laughter
Of peace and love around
Hoping for a life
To this, my soul is wound
