Trust

To trust a friend
is to take their word for it
no questions asked
due to past progress forward

To trust a family member
is to lend a hand
even though mistakes happen
the rules can bend

To trust a lover
means to go wholeheartedly
even to the depths of hell
and back to heavenly

To trust oneself
is an obvious joke
the mind plays tricks
and it will make you choke

To trust is to let go
all the misconceptions
to go forward in the dark
without protection

To trust another
takes guts of compromise
to be a target
for a possible demise

To trust someone
means forgoing one's standing
to take the leap forward
and eat the landing

I trust you
not myself
do you trust
yourself?
