Conundrum
I believed
for just one moment I let my guard down and fell into the trap
Was deceived
once again Life has shown that all is not as it appears – it’s worse
I decreed
I know I said I’d be on my toes and vigilant, but even the best can fail
Did bleed
the worst part of belief, for me, is seeing my heart ripped from my chest again
I concede
with each deceit it gets harder and harder to want to continue to fight
Aching need
no matter the pain or frustration, I still want a belief … in something
I believed
In people once more and lost … but there’s hope
New found creed
no matter how cynical I become I will try … Life is good
