Trust Means Rust


 

Trust in fear because it’s real but

 

Reclaim yourself from fear

 

Usurp your right to be you

 

So you can stand up for your beliefs

 

To face mistakes with tact

 

 

Mold yourself to be the momentum

 

Exacted for the progress you desire.

 

Analyze your steps before you shout!

 

Nettle gossip and criticism with neglect.

 

Sarcasm is the best answer for such lies.

 

 

Reality reels liars from their lies like a smear.

 

Understanding that fact helps you

 

Stay safe from two timers and snakes.

 

Trust in fear but learn to act not react.

 

 

 

Author’s Notes:

 

Sometimes colors indicate states of mind and temperaments more than the ornamental and visual attributes they are associated with. When relationships decay due to betrayal and misuse of confidence, one must learn to rust before they can trust again and by rust I mean to age with wisdom and rise with tact. Trials are the fire that rages rust within to raise trust in ourselves before we can trust others.

CNQT

Poetry is a form of passionate expression kindled by an impression unbound by public conviction. I write mainly from two genres : impressionism and symbolism. Choose me or leave me, I'm not a backup plan and definitely not a second choice! Not everyone likes me but then again not everyone matters. What matters is peace and the feeling of being content. Every person is a book, this is just the place to share some pages from my book. Peace!
