Trust
I’ve lost it
In other people
Just like they have in me
They yell and scream at the lies
Lies told from fear
of disappointment and of pain
they don’t trust me not to make gashes to help me sleep forever
I don't trust them not to show me the palm of their hand as it hits my cheek
I’m afraid
But
So are they
My family broke
And it started with trust
