Why must I ever be the endless torture
inside of me. The buttons are pushed
the lives go stale

Why is it that I'm the only
one that wails.

Has society came so cold that
no one cares about the young
nor old? Are words as meaningless
as the soul behind their eyes?

Trusting yes I am so,others say
its a flaw to possess. To give
others a benefit of a doubt is like
to sign your heart away to eternal
damnation of hurt and pain.


When did caring become a weakness?
where it used to be the golden rule

Fool me once shame on you.....Fool me twice shame on me.....

Society seems to have become colder over time but everywhere there are still those who will not abuse your trust....Beautiful writing though saddness prevades it...*big hugs*

oh, there are caring people out there...there really are. But this is a good write to point out so many that are not.

when you can question
when you're trusting then in you
the golden rule lives

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
