I want to believe in promises

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

    You have to continue to believe or else you'll sink

    Maybe there are those who really believe that a promise given means anything

    A 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.

    Goodness is still out there. It's just that you now have to navigate with caution.

    I 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.
