Notes About The Poem

T word  Contest Sponsored by Constance La France

Trust

Tell others your innermost secrets, please be aware
Reality is, it’s something that they’ll probably share
Unless you’re certain that they won’t be blurting
Share with a fake pal, you may find yourself hurting
Trolls still trawl through the internet – you bet!

I understand this message so well. It took me a long time to realise that some people just pretend to be your friend so that they can get gossip or secrets from you. Or they use you to further their goals. Thank you for sharing your poem. Stay safe and take care. :-)

Congratulations on your win. WOW!!! Your "TRUST" is a powerful write. So Very True. We have a friend that told everyone something about a person in our group. They killed them self over it. So Sad... Have a great day.............
