Trust No One

-Sentimentality can blind a man to the truth.Those who appear the most trustworthy deserve the most suspicion. So check on those we trust (Trust But Check). The people closest to us cause the most pain When emotions are dry they expose us to more rain They say trust is a virtue On our mind from dawn to dusk like a child's curfew When I sit and think about trusting another girl My mother A friend My brother I change my mind Brush trust to the side I'll never forget how much I trusted her and got cheated on When I was little trusted my mother and got beated on Trusted my dad but got badly neglected Thought me and him were homies but got badly disrespected All grown up now and nobody can get close I feel I trust myself the most For others I possess no feelings Like a ghost Catch them in their lies pure intuition The ones most trustworthy get the most suspicion Traitors can't get an ounce of trust out of me Thank God I study psychology I can't help it, they all screw up Knocked down the ranks soon after they move up I offer my experiences to all who read this No one can be trusted, please believe this Check on those we trust Verification is a must Be watchful and vigilant of people who label you with lust Women don't set youself up to get laid or played Men don't allow yourself to sprayed or played Trust doesn't exist anymore at least in this generation Looking for love in all places Such desperation Spot them before they spot you Identify the clue If you can trust them then fine This is just my opinion My view As you have just read, I have a serious trust issue. People only use you for an ulterior motive they secretly conceal. I know, I know, everybody must face the fact they will be used. Then again, what about the method of OVERUSING people. Humans in all shapes, sizes, genders or colors can be so deceiving. I sound bitter, I know that already, but come on even family can't be trusted. This is just my opinion and cry out to any one to just check on the people that lust for your confidence. Just cause they appear trustworthy doesn't mean a thing... They say without trust, a relationship won't last. They are right. For strange reason however, I can't seem to trust family, a stranger, a friend, boy or girl. Scary? You tell me. But...What if I can't trust myself...?

a great poem this is why I trust God and God alone like in my poem titled persecution even the people closest to you will hurt you sooner or later it is true, they set out with god intentions but end up trying to cripple you in the process, the past few months have been such a trying time but yet God carried me through but I agre trust no one on earth, just trust God you wont go far wrong. God bles from diane

Oh, Richard Jamal! I can't believe the hurt you have experienced, my little brother!! I missed this and was just wondering where you were, keyed in your name and found this on your page!! I know exactly how you feel, but you're too young to live without trusting someone. You can't connect to another without believing they want something from you, is truly sad and that's not how you should live. ..Soup Mail Peace and love, Audrey

a great poem, a powerful message, this story is oh so true in many ways, my parents split up when I was about 11 years old, i lived with my father and people do let us down but not always intentionaly, there usesd to be aquote saying you cal live with a person a life time and still not know that person, as we change as we get older, me and my family trust no one but God, he is the only one i truly trust,
