What is trust? •

     Is it the belief in reliability, truth, and strength of someone or something?
     Is it the confident expectation of something?

     No, nowadays the word trust is just an empt and meaningless word used to persuade those who believe in it to do as we wish.
     Trust is just a word with no meaning behind it, no one around you can be trusted anymore.
     No one around will ever be able to be trusted anymore.
     The ones you think you can trust can't even be trusted.
     The ones you think you can trust will be the first to stab you in the back.
     No one has your back like they say, they'll always leave you at the end of the day.
     The world today has changed the meaning of everything we believe in.
     Nothing is the same anymore and everything will continue to change.
     Everyone wants you to make it, but no one wants to see you doing better than them.
     People will do any and everything to hurt you and to benefit them.
     As I look in the mirror and wonder to myself.
     Can I trust you or will you turn on me as well.
     Trust who? Trust you? That's something I can't do.
     Not after everything you've done and everything you've put me through.
     Do you ever wonder, can you trust your best friend that's sitting next to you?
     It's a sad day when those you wished the best turn on you.
     People will lie to us.
     People will hurt us.
     People will disappoint us.
     People will even abandon us and leave us out to dry.
     They'll do this and give us no reason why.
     They do it just for the fun of it and to say that they were able to do it.
     The world we live in today is hell and we're all being put through it.

     The world is a cold and hard place, but you have to stay strong and continue to live life to it's fullest.
     Trust yourself and love yourself even when life is at its cruelest.
     What kind of world do we live in when you can't trust the ones you love.
     The only one you can trust is the man that's up above.
     Even with the trials and tribulations, always keep to yourself and believe in what God has in store for you.
     Believe that he can give you the tools you need to be strong and make it through.
     Just believe that in due time, he will make it better for you.
     He's only getting started, this is just a rough start for a beautiful end.                                        
     So keep fighting until the end, I beg of you.
