Trust and people

January 30, 2021

You trusted them and they hoodwinked you.

I won't utter you did wrong

Given that it’s a part of life

To make missteps

They shuttered your conviction

Beating a hasty retreat

But they never recognized who you were

Hope your moral fiber isn’t like theirs

Hope your itinerary won’t be as theirs

Moving forward is the best settling of scores

Get up and work hard

Be successful and show up

Eventually, they will proclaim your triumph
