The Trap Is What They Call It

The trap is what they call it, bait the cheese, but please don't wait on me So they polish it, put the chrome and rims on it and I abolish it Am I strong or mostly lucky, considered threatening only when they rush me Now was we, ever did you trust me Like Justice, who in the hell's got the custody This is a must list As I drop a bold statement "Trust no one" I heard so many lies i could never sow one But as I fold one, to put it in the back of my mind, I froze once thought about it some more and you know what Take the pieces and connect them, make some theories and test them Then resume as if they spoke the Truth Give them the room to hang the noose These used items: have collected and united The Truth is silent, listen close and you will find it I am the Master of my Fate and the Captian of my soul But unfortunately I wrecked the ship, layed my title down and invested in My purpose and my destiny I sought so much control it eventually got the best of me And as I'm picking up from ashes, How have I lasted? Truth be present, I report this abuse if your not veiwed in this message As my veiw adjust it's fittingly, Agility is verified so crushed is every lie And as I'm brushed by the hands of Love I take a look deep down inside Will my wounds heal as I find your wounds will

A heart speaks surrendering to the value of truth in one's life. Fear conducts our mistrust from which we must take back our power. A wonderful verse and if I have misunderstood your meaning it is truly no reflection on this beautiful verse. Cynthia
