How honest am I?
How honest can I be?
If I say it, is it true?
Or do I say it hoping it becomes true?
Do I say it to give false hope?
Do I say it because I know you won’t cope?
Will they fear me, loathe me and keep their distance?
Why should I be honest when I’m lied to?
Why should I be honest when I get deceived?
If I entirely trust you I’ll open up to you.
But trust is always two ways; there ain’t no one way about it.
To tell me you entirely trust me, it’s a lie!
You lie to give me a false comfort.
You don’t trust because you know you can’t be trusted.
With your tainted personality you know in an instant you’ll break the trust & slip up.
Taking advantage of my trust and betray me.

- Comment from author about the poem: I had trust on my mind. I thought about myself and an issue I went through a few years back with a fake friend. It just shows that I need to be more aware and careful of the people I let into my life. Our hearts and morals are not always in the same place. This is one of my first poems written on: 20 -10 -09 This was aroung the time when I really wanted to add writer to my skills and I started taking what you can call my baby steps in writing.

I indentify myself so much with your poem, trust it's so controversial and really hard to gain. You are really honest in the way you see things and I do feel that is a balance that we search in order to exist in this world; not such an honest one at the moment.
Merry Christmas!

Thanks for the comment, very much apperciated. Sometimes its a good thing to see things and people for what they are without sugar-coating it but at the same time knowing when not to be entirely honest, finding the right balance. Sometimes we do see but choose not to accept it, we then have to learn the hard way.
Merry Xmas!
