Never Trusting Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Trusting in other people is very hard to do if you have
no trust to give another.

Having been hurt way too often in life, not wanting to
give of self to another ever again.

Always, the thought of being hurt is lasting in your
mind, a memory that can never be erased.

It is associated with pain and abuse from the past,
still never meeting anyone in life that won't hurt you.

Because we are all only human beings, unable to go
through life without hurting anyone.

Our egos are constantly getting in the way of trusting.
