Fell

fallen

They held their hands out
To catch me if I fell.
I fell.
They did not catch me.
They hold out their hands to help me up.
I refused.
They did not look back.
I fell deeper.
One turned back.
Others followed.
I take their hands.
I hang suspended.
They say they wont drop me.
As they slowly pull me up.
But can you trust the ones
Who watched you fall?
I did.
I do.

I hang suspended.

Trust a very hard thing for some. I find it very hard to trust.
To trust is a hard gift to have less for me.
You are very strong and a great writer.
Keep up the great work

Thank you

I agree full heartedly. For me it is so easy to trust. But as I said in the poem, I trusted them and they let me down. It is hard to trust them after that, but I still do and nothing so far to prove that it was the wrong choice.
