-Insincerity

I always try to think the best of people
Believe their intentions are genuine and true
Though today I’m questioning sincerity 
Are hidden agendas behind what they say and do?

I am of a gullible nature ,soft hearted as well
Easily drawn in by friendly and nice
Never contemplating an insincere reason
Or that I would have to pay a price!

I get terribly disappointed in mankind
When insincerity slaps me in the face
By inauthentic ,selfish humans
“Who wound” leaving no visible trace!
