Trust Me

How does one prove himself?
Do you display loyalty?
Earn trust?
If so; how?
How do you show loyalty?
Is trust even a real thing?

I often say I can't even trust myself
Never knew why, just a saying
Now I know why

When a person has a secret
Their first instinct
Is to tell someone else
If they do, they lose some trust in themselves
Without knowing it

Sometimes we say
"Oh no, I can't trust myself"
In a jokingly way
But what we fail to realize is that
Everything we say can be perceived another way
