Trust

Trust seems like an easy thing

But in reality

It can be very elusive

When I sit on a new surface

My body is tense

I am constantly aware

of the surface that lay beneath me

As if waiting for something to happen

Searching for a reason to distrust the surface

Preparing to be disappointed

Over time my body relaxes

It becomes harder for me to notice

That the surface is beneath me

It is often said

That trust

Isn't built in a day

But rather over time

Like glass it is fragile

And can be hard to repair

Trust

Allows us to focus

On what's in front of us

Instead of wondering how people act

When we're not there

And relax part of our mind

That's why it's a tragedy when it's broken

A betrayal

Make you think of future betrayals

By people you rely on

Betraying you

In ways you never thought of before

You become tense

Tightening up

Some tighten up so much

That they resolve to trust no one

Then become angry

when that doesn't work

Trust 

is our relationship to the unknown

To things outside of our control

We cannot control everything

Thus trust is necessary

Trust is our invisible hands

reaching for someone

as we travel into the abyss

Of an unknown future

Hoping it provides comfort
