DISTRUST

Distrust is the silent fear that rules the thoughts within;

That turns our head away in chagrin;

It’s the map that guides us in our wake;

We convince ourselves it is for protection’s sake;

The heart is willing to offer an olive branch;

While the mind is tethered in the fear it makes.

All hope is withheld from hearts venture;

All confidence is lost within censor;

Distrust keeps us from attaining our goals;

We want so badly, yet we won’t let go;

The darkness creeps in and holds us at bay;

We cannot move forward or go against the fray;

It eats at us from the inside - out;

It will destroy a life, of this there is no doubt.
