Too much trust

by Shodan   Jan 9, 2024


I am too trusting of this world
To you the stranger who sighs at me
To you the sailor, sailing me out to sea
To you who thinks I'm a failure, yet smiles at me
I trust you even after you harm me
I'm a gluten for punishment for which I just don't see.

Will I ever learn the dangers, will I ever be untangled
Why can't I trust my fellow humans? Why do they always hurt me?

My optimism and hope for better manners
A society that helps one another, that doesn't knock each other down while videoing the worst moments.
Will I ever exist or am I extinct?

    The world is full of evil and wrong
    I only ever wanted to protect you
    I'm sorry for my failures.
