"We see what we want to see"
And, I see good in people
True, we are all guarded,
Build our own walls
Wear masks
Yet, I cannot see through
Their facade,
Call me naive or blind...
What have I got to lose?
Does TRUST mean a lot?

This is beautiful! Perhaps naive and trusting, but how do we grow if not to take chances...offer love, and receive it in unexpected ways. A hopeful verse.
ReplyDeleteWell done.
Be well,
Ron
oy i want to see the good in people...and i try but i am guarded as well....burned way too much you know...
ReplyDeleteTrust is something many people struggle with. Perhaps the veil is an advantage so we give trust a chance more often. Thanks for taking on this challenge.
ReplyDeleteI always want to see the good in people but as I've aged, I believe I've trusted way too much too often, now, I think trust didn't ought to be given so freely, I think it is something which needs to be earned/won. Most of us wear different facades to suit the occasion too.
ReplyDeleteWell said Janu
I kind of trust my gut feelings in regard to people....after a while you can KIND of tell; but this is not to say that I haven't been burned!
ReplyDeleteI always look for the good in everyone, but have sometimes placed my trust in the wrong people. Such a wonderful reminder, Janu!
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Trust means everything. It used to be that people made contracts with only their word as proof. Sad we have come too long a way from that.
ReplyDeleteMy dear Poetess,
ReplyDeleteVery powerful words of truth today!! As much as we want to see good or trust in someone's eyes, its really the heart that becomes deceptive. We still have to take our chances and trust someone though. You already know my heart (smile).
I always try and see the good in people. Many tell me to be careful but who cares. I am happy the way I am. Very well expressed.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words

Trust means so much, but unfortunately some people prove themselves unworthy of that trust and can wound us deeply. Still a great aspiration for living. Wonderfully written!
