Greeting Trust

my hands shake

as i come to greet

a face appearing

friendly

but the voice

in my head

scoffs at the notion

that i was accepted

by this deer-eyed

stranger

who speaks

in a tone that

the voice

doesn't trust

it tells me

to follow its lead

so i do

blindly

waiting for it

to let go of

my hand

only to see

the stranger

staring back at me
