Trust the Core not the Words
This a poem about trust-I have a difficult time trusting people to be close to me because sometimes in the past I’ve said things I regret.. I don’t like to be defined by the words I say.. This is a reminder to also be careful in choosing our words kindly.. Many of us have probably experienced repercussions for not doing so.. But we should be able to trust others not to judge by words alone, but to remind us instead to choose them carefully. We should do the same for others and not judge others more harshly then we judge ourselves.
I trusted you with how I felt,
as we hiked up the mountain that day,
my words came out flowing in frustration,
and ignoramus speculation,
the words blustered out
floating far and away,
hence I no longer felt
the words I had said
until I was reminded by you,
thinking that you understood ,
what I was all about,
when all I really needed was to spout,
and for you to listen without doubt
and throwing away my core.

Oh for a good listener! I hear you…not to judge but love me into calm by simply quietly being there for me. Great read!

its either been my fault judging someone, or having someone judging me too quickly.. Im learning that importance of just being and listening-judgment has it’s place but it can also hurt.. listening is such a kind quality don’t you think? thanks for listening..
