Best Mistrust Poems
My words depart as I try
To explain these happenings
Mistrust has poke its ugly head
And is dragging my family apart
Husband against wife
Mother against daughter
Brother against sister
We all are pointing blaming fingers at bloodline
Burning our eyes with hatred
With no prophecy of it ever ending
I’m on a cross road not knowing where to look
Lost in flying words
Words thrown out of anger
Mouth felled with sour love and sweet hatred
Eyes swollen with pain and anger
Face deformed with fold marks
Decedent’s of Cain we have become
Investigating each other
And forgetting to be each other’s keeper
Stretching leg at a moving brother
Folding arms at a falling him
We all are masters in our own worlds
A lone wolf we have become
So I sought to find a solution
To close Pandora’s box
And seek the paradise that is long lost
I hope to find remedy to end a family heritage
The only treasure that we have.
New friendships form and spawn a playful child
fingers of innocence explore the bond
each passing day it grows, entranced, beguiled
wide-eyed it sees the now but not beyond.
To freely give, thinking only the best,
be generous in mind and heart and soul,
welcomes with open arms and bares it's breast
ignores the foibles and accepts the whole.
Out of the blue Janus now turns his face
and tramples on the love that trust had bought,
no mercy shown, no shame and no disgrace,
all that had gone before has come to nought.
Friends come and go, so treat them all the same
else by the rules they set you play the game.

Between the world and my mind,
You clearly sit in between territories.
Nothing to tug but your memory of the past.
For I am only but a broken piece of non-belief.
Between my heart and my soul
I have tucked you in best of both worlds
For my life has become a candid miracle of you
Enough of this uncanny melody of a doubt. I will trust you.
Between the past and the present
We co-existed like the chivalry of the sun and moon
My eyes only sparkle for you
But these doubts are yielding, I can’t.
Between life and death
This limbo that I live in sucks me right back to you.
I don’t want to move, nor am I ready to trust again.
But as long as you wear my life’s meaning
These thoughts, I will lock them in a den.
Try to do good
Smile. Be nice
When asked for a favor
Don't have to think twice
I 'm charitable, generous
Believe that kindness is key
Trust good karma is cyclical
It'll come back to me
But disillusion and pain
Is all I get in return
Lies and backstabbing
Somehow tables get turned
I'm portrayed as a villain
That I am to blame
For all your misfortune
It's part of your game
You play on my sympathies
Take advantage of me
Then twist and manipulate
Rewrite history
You are the reason I can't trust a soul
Why I hide in the darkness
I'm always alone
I'm tired with hurting
Done being played
Lost faith in everyone
Always feeling betrayed
But you are the farmer
You watered this seed
No good deed goes unpunished
You did this to me
In an Instant
A towering temple of trust
Is not built in a day, in an instant
But spans over years and years;
From laying of its base of sincerity
To its inner shrine of beauty
It is wrapped with the cement of honesty
Sprinkled with water of love and care
Mixed with rock sand of confidence
Sealed with iron bars of resistance
And set with the bricks of pertinence.
Yet, the temple crumbles in an instant,
Its towers turn to heaps of dust
And its shrine is reduced to ashes
With the venom of mistrust,
With the spleen of treacherous acts
That shake the very base of confidence,
Like earthquakes that smash down palaces,
Like the shot of heavy missiles
That ravage all on their way
In a moment, in an instant.
Occasionally right,
However, mostly wrong
Like fraudulent daylight,
Tall tales which suffer long
That frequent deafened ears,
So demonstrates belief.
Anticipating fears
May offer some relief.
While filtering the smoke
Of life's insanity,
The gasping children choke.
From predators prey flea.
believe
loyal, truly
trusting, reassuring, promising
expect, imagine, hesitate, suspicion
suspecting, questioning, disbelieving
wary, cynical
doubt

How deep the stings that make men mistrust Love,
And women fly from comforts that Love brings,
And deeper is the poison in poisoned rings
That longing hearts refuse the thinking of.
There is no other station that can wound
As deeply, or as surely, as Love stabs
No other hook grabs deeply as Love grabs
And no lute, more than Love, as finely tuned
Can make my music sob, vibrate the strings
Of all the lutes that ever were, will be
With consonances. O! That I could Thee
Awaken, to the joys that Sweet Love brings.
But you would rather have than me, I think,
Brown eyes, brown hair, a Handsome with a wink!
It has been a big illusion
And a mind game of delusion
Ever since you came through
My life tearing it in two
With all the lies and deception
I thought we had a connection
That was strong and wouldn't break
I never knew you'd be fake
Leading me in a direction
That could use some interception
And reversal from the past
I just want a way to blast
Myself back to when we met
So I can not have regret
Allowing you to be a part
Of my lonely life and heart
But now I see I was stupid
I am going to find cupid
His arrow I will shoot him with
Destroying every bit of myth
That he's bringing hearts together
In my life there has been never
On guy cupid found for me
Who stopped my paths of misery
They walked on me like a doormat
And each time I just fell flat
With foot marks that leave a scar
But now it's gone way too far
When your cheating ways led to
Me walking right in on you
With my best friend who I have known
For years, but now she has shown
How unloyal she has been
Both of you have caused the end
Of my care in anyone
My trusting days are finally done
Mistrust

By: Sami LaRose
I did what I should not of done, but who's to say it wasn't fun?
Fun at first, yes it was
But then my head finally came out of the clouds and their came the sun.
Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale
Always the best smoke available.
But like always time has changed and done us dirty.
We ended up as just a bust
At first it was love, but then it turned to lust
And just became another f*ck.
Another lost love for the book,
Stealing names and breaking hearts just like a crook.
He would always be a bitter sweet love till the end
And my happily never after
I just wish it didn't have to end in disaster.
MISTRUST GOD WHY---
So many sleepless nights
Many more hurt people
God why...
So many mistrusts
Many believe no in Christ
Lord why...
World dry your eyes
Change your lives
God why???

I lay here feeling kicking
Of my precious still inside
I jumped into this cesspit
With my eyes quite open wide
One child already balancing
His future in our hands
I hope this new life brings
Full fruition of my plans
Nine years of bliss existence
Shattered to the core
My man became the addict
Though now he says, no more
With babe in arms I linger
Instincts tell me to run
Chances have been given
I feared this day would come
Daughter made no difference
I held my hopes too high
Three of us must now move on
Can't take another lie
I gave you all my heart
Two children not enough
No more that I can do
To get you off that stuff
We walk away from you my love
Our dreams decay to dust
With family broken all that's left
Are memories and mistrust
There are many tricks to the slave trade the face we wear is one.
Cheerful Smiling faces, happy high fives dancing under the sun.
Cover the truth as best you can is instructed to every man.
To fake-it-til-you-make-it urged throughout ones’ Life span.
Look upon the inner being with open eyes of better seeing.
Pretend that you are gleeful, full of wealth and care, free of woe.
You are far above the clouds and not involved in the ole heave hoe.
Do not permit the world to see the truth beneath the hide.
Bottle it up and press it down to keep it deep inside.
Look upon the inner being with open eyes of better seeing.
Ignore the burdens of the chains in life.
Dull the senses 'til null the pains of strife.
What’s the meaning of this evilness?
This is not the path to holy bliss.
Look upon the inner being with open eyes of better seeing.
Wherefore art thy shameful sin?
Tis’ Hidden betwixt the evil grin?
Forced Social courtesies to live a lie.
Taunting embarrassingly False pride.
Look upon the inner being with open eyes of better seeing.
Uncontrolled envious jealousy and rage.
Solely for a phony life that’s staged.
Secret groups, we give our pledge.
between us a widely divided wedge
Look upon the inner being with open eyes of better seeing.
Why is the truth of my state deemed mean?
Why the view on reality found only in a dream?
Why must You "Permit-me-to-be-honest"?
Surely, in this philosophy, I’m not the lonely monist.
Look upon the inner being with open eyes of better seeing.

The screaming, the yelling, the kicking, the clawing.
All because he did not get his own way.
He did yesterday and all was fine.
This is the first day of kindergarten. He cannot be the ruler here
The hollering, the shrieking, the smacking, the ridiculousness.
High drama today because his mother says he does not have to listen to us.
We are picking on him.
We are against him.
We are the bad people.
No amount of coaxing, smiling, or understanding can help him.
Because Mama said…
As the leaders begin their power stride
A communion of separate opinions is established
Through sacrificial disgust, the sense of mistrust blossoms
Weariness of our commander, promotes our nationwide slander
Blazing off the political grease which clogs our arteries of need
Through the desire of greed, we all are victims of the lies
Misguided by the flapping flag
Once unison can be repaved, we will no longer be enslaved
For the country is led by more than just one
