I don't trust you

I don't trust you:
to do it as well as I will do it.
to take care of me like I want to be taken care of.
to be interested in me for the long haul.
to understand how I feel.
to always be there.

But:
you will do your best when I ask for your help.
you will take care of me the best that you can.
you will always want to hear me talk.
you will feel for me nonetheless.
you will always be there.

  2. This poem initially started out with a lot of anger and I was upset. But writing it made me realize that the people in my life really do their best for me. It's not just about love, or friendship, or work. It's about all of those things.
