The Trouble with Trust

I’m usually blind

to those with ill will.

The only way I got through the torture

Was to think that complete evil

                Couldn’t be real

The naysayers and doubts

echo in my mind.

I don’t need to hear yours,

I come up with my own

                 just fine.

People should have redeeming qualities.

I’ve met many who don’t.

And all those times I want to stoop to their level…

               trust me, I won’t.
