Trust issues

What was the point

Why did I even try

I could have just given up

I could have just been quiet

And just hide it

To not trust the people I know

To just shut up

And shut down

Leaving everyone lying around

Making myself impenetrable

Keeping only myself intact

Even though I know I lost hope

There is no pure in this world

None to trust

There is just greed and hunger

Evil and power

No one cares anymore

No one to see the real world from the illusion that they are in

What has happened

What have we become

There is anger and hate

There is loathing and jealousy

Where is the good in the world

Where is the generosity

I only see masks

And the titles

I see the death

And destruction

The is no reason to trust

So why do people do it

For the big picture there is no hope

But what about the little picture

What has that become

Just what has happened to it

For what if that is what saves me

What if it heals me

From the little details

To the microscopic

What if that heals me

What if that reminds me

Reminds me to trust and love

To see the good

Not just the bad

Or the evil

So what if there are two paths

The good or the evil

The big picture

Or the little one

What if there is still hope

Even though it's not in the big picture just yet.

To everyone who reads my poems, sorry that I haven't been writing. Just been lazy and had no motivation.
