Trust You Must, But With Open Eyes…. Poem by Ravi Singh

If I won’t wrong anybody,
I also would not be wronged
From this school of thought,
I so firmly belonged

I had firm belief,
and always fiercely debated
If you trust somebody,
it is bound to be reciprocated

I was so naïve,
I was so mistaken
Life finally decided,
I need to be given a lesson

All my beliefs fell flat,
and my logic upside down
Life has given me such a lesson;
it left me hurt, beaten and brown

Every struggle has moral,
every cloud has silver lining
One should take things in stride,
no point in cursing and whining

Trust you must,
because without it there is no life
But do it my dear friends,
with your open eyes
