Trust

Trusting in your friends or strangers are totally different things. 
Strangers have no problem walking out.
Friends are suppose to stick around.
When you need your friends the most,
they are no where to be found.
I ask myself why let anyone in?
Slipping up and tell some but no one knows all the things
Why take the chance again?
Why trust when it hurts too much in the end?
All the promises broken just don't seem worth it again.
Safer to trust only yourself.
Is it so wrong for not wanting to come out?
The world around us is cold and cruel,
learning this on my own, 
I have decided now I will trust myself on my journey home.
