Trust

Trust
by Michol Mae

So you lied, just like they all do,
they all lie for different reasons,
but the reasons are all selfish,
still, they want you to believe them.

They lie and say it's to protect you.
they don't want you to be hurt,
but I've known this as a child,
they always put themselves first.

I haven't had the pleasure,
to know an honest man,
instead I've known the bad ones,
and a few who raised their hands.

I've been beaten, dragged, and left,
and yet here I still stand,
because I'm stronger than your lies,
let me show my poker hand

I'm tired of being lied too,
because I believe in being good,
I'm sick of being called naive,
because I expect you to act like you should.

Maybe I have daddy issues,
they lied, and abandoned us both,
they sure didn't set a good example,
my mother, and I left broken souls.

So you go tell yourself your story,
try to convince yourself and then me,
tell the whole world your lies,
but I'm done trusting in things I can't see.

The saddest thing of all,
is that you took away that trust,
you took it with all your lies,
without trust I don't know if I can love.
