mistrust, the root of all


mistrust, the root of all problems.

don't trust your friend

don't trust your neighbor

don't trust your parents

most of all

don't trust 

yourself. 

you don't know what you want

or if you do, people tell you otherwise

confusion swirling

anger rising

what do you want?

who knows. 

you want to trust and be trusted

maybe start small

trust someone special

and grow from there.
