Heart of Gold

Why do I do it to myself. 
why do I expect everyone to be so honest and so open
I feel like my trust has been broken so many times that i'm in denial that all people are dishonest and disloyal. 
I go into everything expecting everyone to act the same, 
but in this world there are people with evil intentions.
What makes them say what they say?
and what makes them do what they do?
Do they know how they treat people?
So many questions that will never be answered.
maybe that's my problem. I expect reasons for the way people treat me.
why do people do the things they do to me and why do i allow it and what are the warning signs?
Is it just me am I thinking too much into it?
am I crazy because I feel its making me crazy. 
I'm just a ball of emotions and i get so frustrated when I can't solve the puzzles of the unknown. I wish I could understand or read people to see what they are about before my "lala land" mentality screws me over once again. Why can't I just expect the worst from every one why must my heart be golden?

I understand your frustration. This is the fate of the goodhearted. These questions and ponderings should only strengthen you. Shows you have a good heart. Be the light in this dark world. But show discernment, love, patience, and understanding. In time you will find peace....within yourself. Loved your words. Keep writing. It will heal you.

Such heartfelt, thoughtful musings, Violetta. But as our own poets said: I love you just the way your are. And as Todd Rungren and the Isley Bros. said in "Hello It's Me: Don't change ... don't change. From a broken heart to a golden heart, from brother to sister, your poem illuminates the way to stay on the path of love. Beautiful introspective poetry. Love and hugs always.

Given the issues being brought to light in our country today this poem oozes with irony.
