I want to believe in
every word you promise
I want to believe that
everyone has some
goodness in their heart
but time and time again
I’m left disappointed
in the action of others
yet I still believe that
goodness is still out there
- Written for dVerse Quadrille: Time for a 44-word poem
You have to continue to believe or else you'll sink
ReplyDeleteSo true. Thanks for reading.
DeleteMaybe there are those who really believe that a promise given means anything
ReplyDeleteTrue. Thanks for reading.
DeleteA statement of faith in the vast majority of humanity. We can not let the lies, the vile statements, the disappointments, make us turn away from the good and ignore the many blessings of life, including many many good people.
ReplyDeleteSo true Lillian. Thanks for reading.
DeleteGoodness is still out there. It's just that you now have to navigate with caution.

Thanks Pat.
DeleteI feel exactly the same. I'd rather be alone than betrayed again. The worst part is I don't trust myself to trust correctly. Faith in a power beyond our kenning (using Bjorn's word) is what we have.
ReplyDeleteSo true. Thanks for reading JadeLi.
