Éclaté



    My heart is full of gratitude
    To all those who taught me
The most important lesson in life...

           You made me realise
              what a fool I was!
              Not once did I think
           Your pleasant words
             And sugary smile
   Had a veiled purpose to beguile.

     After you wrung all the trust
              Out of my heart,
Why are y'all still baffled when I say
     That 'trust' is a funny word?

    After my heart was pulverized,
  I fell in love with the stronger me.
   No longer do anybody's words
            Cut through my heart
              Like a sharp knife;
              No longer do I flee
              From any situation
              Life throws at me.

About this poem

It's funny how some people wonder why I have trust issues. They never care how I feel when they wring all the trust out of my heart and treat me like a joke. Writing makes me feel lighter when I am depressed because pages seem to understand my pain by hearing me out, unlike most people.
