Best Self Trust Poems
Sometimes I sit and wonder
What you see in me.
I’m not always the nicest guy around:
Do you just choose not to see?
I don’t always say the right thing:
Put my foot in it often as not.
My big mouth causes me trouble
But it’s the only one I’ve got.
I know I’m not always considerate
Of how you feel and what you say.
How do you put up me like this
Day after day after day?
You know, I break my promises
I sincerely make to you
And often I don’t do what I say
I am going to do.
I’m stupid when you need sensible,
Often late when you want reliable.
I don’t always act my age
Drink too much and act the fool.
I’m untidy, lazy and a slob
I sure don’t pull my weight
I put a lot of pressure on
Your overburdened plate.
On the plus side, though
I know you laugh at me
Even if it’s unintentional
And inappropriately.
I buy you chocolates and flowers
On Valentines and your birthday
At Christmas I buy a present that costs
More than I can afford to pay
I clean up after the dog daily
And empty the cat-litter tray as well
All because you say you cannot stand
The awful, disgusting smell.
I hug you and I tell you
When you look sexy as hell
(To be fair you say the same thing
To me, sometimes, as well)
I know I’m still crazy about you
I tell you frequently
You say that you still feel the same
But do you really like me?
Hello everyone! There is going to be a 2nd part to Entertainment real soon. Stay tuned! Thanks:)
Don’t be discouraged
Don’t be doubtful
Don’t be disheartened
Be happy, not mad
Be humble, not proud
Be quiet, not loud
Be merciful, not condemning
Be cheerful, not anxious
Be glad, not envious
Hello
Hello
I feel insecure
I see your halo
A cloud of a windy blow
I’m feeling brilliant
Can’t say I’m excellent
Perhaps, insignificant
I can’t even say a simple hello to my friends behind me
I’m just an outlandish, bittersweet introvert all over again
Spreading my mental wings of set-me-free
Be my grace…
Fading like your face…
Caught without a trace
Hello
How have you been?
I’ve seen the unseen
Oh wait…
I hesitate…
I can’t breathe…
I’m at ease…
My mind is a castle on a train
So high and so low…can’t refrain
From driving y’all insane…
All to numb the lucky pain
Inside me…
Inside you…
However, fear is far behind me
Hope and cheer is what I want and need
I need to nourish it like my itty-bitty seed
I feel like fainting a five hundred million miles from you
I feel like tainting your fingers with my blood of residue
I am a quiet cello in your sleep
I am that crippled fiend…A creep…
Only to find light on the other side of the sun…
I’m somewhat like an extrovert
Extending my mind’s flimsy, flowery frame
Pulling out envy's weed…what’s your name?
I hurt like an expert, wearing your blue shirt
Basically, my nightmare became a reality
Frankly, my eyes shower and my gaze is but a coward
Mind control got me in its web of lies…hardly…
Lately, my numb cranium is releasing dangerous defeat…I’m flying and soaring like a blue bird…
I’m an empty page…
Okay, I am enraged by being in this cage
Of my skin…of your distress…
Of your sin…you’re just trying to impress
Strangely, I feel old age creep on me –
Awkward
I can trust in my illuminating instincts
It’s misfortunate that I’m so nervous
I see wondrous winks and chinks
Extremely battered…
Nothing else matters…
Brain-scattered…
I hear silence and its purrs
Yeah, my bro…my wild bro
He is the only friend I’ll be hanging out with
For the rest of my life though
I always mix up reality and fantasy and myth
What is trust to you?
Does it mean anything?
Is it a word or a label?
Does it actually have meaning?
I trust way too easy;
My emotions gain control.
My problem is I give it to those
Who treat it like a joke.
My heart has grown heavy,
My trust is now very thin.
Am I not worth the truth?
Do my words escape with the wind?
Can't you see all my pain?
Do you enjoy me being hurt?
You don't even realize
How much my trust is worth.
I refuse to trust anyone.
This pain I cannot bear.
So I'll lock up my trust,
'Cause obviously no one cares.
There is a saying being that- a single tear is worth a thousand words.
Now if only the water that has been dropped upon this page could just,
turn into letters, thus spelling out the reason behind them being shed.
empty words without meaning
words mumbled for mere formality
lost in rolling endless echoes
we understand the game
and agree it's nothing personal
just filler to mask the silence that besets us
so we erect tall fences, add padlocks
and answer the knock of only the rare few
we keep it formal so not to muddy waters
how do you do? is not a question
our fine means I don’t want to talk
or I’m not convinced you care
don’t you see how we’ve become blasé
or maybe just maybe we need to better
recognize those pauses of genuine concern
so a how do you feel? becomes
a how do you feel about me?
because I care and we can be friends

Don't feed brains with rubbish information
It's the place must be holy and pure
Garbage in earth spreads to everywhere
Only brains left to be empty as sky azure
It's the color of the original sea so pure
It's the spirit of beauty, content and hilarious
Find your earthly matches with identical color
You will acknowledge the sensation so gracious
When your rhyming vibrate perfectly resonance
An oath I took to protect and preserve
Faithfully my country that I would serve.
Wearing many stars, I have full command
To defend our free and bountiful land.
Should state power shift cruelly away
From my sacred oath I shall likely stray.
For there is another oath in my heart:
From secure position do not depart!
As a puppet of harsh authority
I shall switch sides to favor me and mine
Willing to confiscate all that is thine:
Your home, family, faith, and liberty.
Principles, principles, they sound so fine
Fear is my principle to stay in line.
What dwells deep in my mind is "deedle dust"
Oh yes, scrape them off to remove the rust
You know, just the ones that I discussed
Try to shine them up, only if you must
Let's keep 'em here in our secret trust
There's no sense at all being rushed
Some wise humility always just seems just
what you have looked for
between your arms within you
here right the right place
Much like the feline ferals who occupy my street,
I am quite comfortable living among people, but I do not trust anybody.
Trust has to be earned within the feral community,
which I have gained many times among my local cat colonies.
I also encounter people I grow to trust, but sadly,
very rarely.
If you fit the above profile, more or less accurately,
then allow me to welcome you to The Feral Community.
She was described as the ocean
As like the ocean not much of her was discovered
Seeing a stranger not letting them know anything about you
You not knowing anything about them
Even the closest ones to you have not opened up your doors completely
Trust is a hard thing to gain; but a very easy thing to lose
Scared to open the doors with being scared for past experiences to occur once again
People letting you down over and over.... try after try
Known from the outside
Unknown from within
Positive mindset satiates my hunger,
In dark clouds, it finds silver linings to see.
It carves out success, not as a warmonger,
And its bravery swirls like tides in the sea.
Walking its paths fuels daily ambition,
With it, no time again will my self-trust fade.
No setback can stir the winds of submission;
My will makes failure retreat, deep in dismay.
Struggles create success of long duration,
That spark is a flame that I hold to chest dear.
Lasting success will demand dedication,
I pray that God's favour will keep my path clear.
Their gatherings draw me, my footsteps align,
For there, their uplifting voices rend the air.
Their kindness and courage in harmony shine,
Building new bonds through the wisdom they all share.
The hope in their lives remains my guiding light,
Proof that all dreams can be within easy reach.
It isn’t just how long one groans through the night,
But how one learns from the lessons life can teach.
What if they are your clowns?
What if you do see unicorns?
Can you dispute what your mind sees, and your own ears hear?
Be your own kind of real.
Trust yourself.
Your feelings and experience are given to you
And you alone for good reason.
Brothers and sisters do not grow up in the same family.
It is okay to change your views,
It is okay to believe in yourself.
It is okay to let life teach you remarkable, amazing unknown things.
It is okay to walk a different path than your parents.
It is okay to believe in yourself.
It is okay to forge a new life, it is okay to follow your heart.
It is okay to go off on an adventure everyone else thinks is crazy.
This is your life, it may be the only one; only you can live it.
So do.
I keep my counsel
Secrets hidden from others
With open eyes
Looking interested
Too open they think
Yet slammed shut
Tightly and with good reason
Trusting no one
I appear invincible and self-confident
Listening to their secrets
Telling no one
Understanding their frostiness
Wearing them down without trying
For their sadness recognizes mine
Still I do not share
Trusting no one
Whether or Not
Hey you there walking so tall as if nothing else mattered,
Passing by those who's lives have been shattered.
Are you believing that this would never happen to you,
Better put yourself in check and see what's actually true.
Get right with yourself and make right your wrongs,
Or soon you'll have nobody, they will all be gone.
Start now while you are able and try being nice,
Account for your actions cause you can't always be right
Soon you will notice how your life is begining to change
Never again will this life of your's ever be the same.
Seriously, get smart and think about what I've been saying
Try listening sometime and start doing some praying
I do not claim to know it all and it's not up to me
There is one I know of that you will soon be able to see
You must trust me my friend , I would not lead you astray,
For I was once like you and realized I had lost my way.
As I am explaining all this it's important that you understand,
If you don't believe what I' am telling you , then nobody can.
No doubt it will be difficult and you're bound to stray
Stay the course and never give up ,you'll find your way
Whether or not love ever finds you my dear friend
It will be your faith that determins your life's end.
