Trust


Trapped on an island

I exsist only among my thoughts

Coming and leaving like the waves thundering ashore

Will I ever find a way home?

Giving up will only get me so far

For it is trust in myself that is the key to my exsistence

Counting on oneself, a task that sometimes seems impossible

Yet, we cannot be at one with the world

Without trust
