Distrust

Distrust

A Poem by JJ Escobar
"

poem of an experience of being distrusted

"
What did I do deserve this?
I know I'm not perfect, but why can't you trust me
Everything I did was to maintain your trust in me
I sacrificed desires to prove that your trust wasn't amiss

Now I feel like you really have been using me
Your hurting me and causing resentment to unfold 
My anger wants me to hate thee
I better trust in God before it's too late and my heart grows cold

I thought we were better than this 
I thought our faith had taught us better than this 
I feel like you have been using me now 
I was the wild but silent ox yoked to the plow 

I hoped my behavior has shown I could be entrusted 
Now I have seen my effort only led to my heart getting busted
