Trust

I have a hard time trusting people
With my past experiences a person can be lethal,

You can tell by looking at their eyes
If they look to their left more than likely they are telling you lies,

Be careful what you say in front of them
Because they will use it against you and leave you out on a limb,

Trust is a word that carries a lot of weight
Even if a person proves to you there is no hate,

Watch your back cause the knives you might feel are gonna hurt
The person or person's you thought you could trust turns out to be a piece of dirt,

People will say anything to save their own skin
And the sad thing is they will do it with a grin,

Be close to your friends but stay closer to your enemies
Because people are hard to trust and that is Reality.
