Trust Me No More

They all hear me

Expecting me to know and help

The thing is...

I can't always be what they want

I can't always say what they want to hear

Sometimes, I crave for the trust people give me

But often, I am scared to possess it because I might ruin it

It's like a precious vase

I hold it firmly in my hands

But being that I am clumsy and always so unsure with everything

I drop it and watch the pieces scatter all over the floor

Trust is much easier to break and even harder to fix

That's why I don't want it

But like a vase, I enjoy having something of value in my hands

I don't know what I want

Do I want their trust?

Or do I want their silence?

Should I accept their hate?

I don't know

Or maybe, I do know, and I won't admit it to myself

I want them to trust me no more
