Trust

A poem about trust,

Trust

Don’t let it fall

For if it shatters

It’s shattered once and for all

Unable to be pieced together again

Don’t let it chip

For if it chips,

It can’t be fixed, permanently scarred

A piece missing from a whole

Trust,

A fragile thing,

A troubling responsibility,

But worth it.

Author's Note

Used glass as a comparison to trust. I thought this was strange but in the end the poem came together! I chose to write about trust as it's an issue in my life, so take this advice. Also take note of the picture, I thought this was beautiful! In the troubled time of war an officer and a little boy trusting one another! This is not my photo, ( http://www.mudvillegazette.com/milblogs/archives/trust1%20sadr%20city.jpg )
Please review.

I like the simplicity and raw emotion of distrust in this poem. And even though I can be an extreme pessemist, I personally disagree, things don't just scatter and fall for all, they might seem this way at first, but time ventually heals. And life just continues. However, nice write. Keep it up.

Interesting metaphor. Good job.

I liked it. Just one thing, "For if 'it' chips". Otherwise, a good analogy, and portrayed in a light of innocent warning.

Wonderful analogy !! I liked your take on trust and also the image you attached which adds value to the poem. In these troubled times, poems like this are important and need to be written n heard. Good job

Trust not easily gained and hard to retain once you've lost it. What a gift to be cherished trust is.

[tynamite]

That's so true. What more can be said?

[Poetic Beauty]

you have described trust to a t. Trust is hard to earn but easily broken. Great job describing it.

to put one's trust in someone is one of the most beautiful things one can do... but trust is a fragile thing indeed, and one can easily cut onself on the shards...
