Trust

Trust... such a strong word! A reenforced allegiance to a person or persons. Required to divulge secrets. It's the cup that you pour your vulnerability in. It's meaning has no twist or exception. The sad thing about that is unfortunately people are the exact opposite. We are fickle. We are flaky like the snow. Although we understand the importance of trust, we still fall like ash from a cigar. Some of us are more cautious, others leave their souls to bear the repercussions of loose gifts. What's more sad is that it's inevitable that you will encounter such betrayal. We jump through all types of hoops just to prove that we are trust worthy. We please and affirm duties that someone can see how strong our loyalty is. We promise and keep secrets so that maybe someone will do the same. 

There comes a time when you continuously have your commitment questioned. Frequently tested and ask to prove yourself. Threats of expulsion and banishment linger in your chambers. Your motives are constantly catechize. Those moments are vital and can dictate the outcome of your future position in the life/lives of others. Some walls are higher than others, some will be stronger. 

I feel that the disconnect has plagued this pure raw sense of vulnerability. You can't help certain situations, all you can do is run with it. Set your foundation where ever it may be an start to build. If you are not excepted by such parties after proving yourself to them and their cause, you just simply let things go. Play your part in their lives at the capacity in which they feel comfortable. All we can do is try to be great and honor those that honor you. Genuineness can only take you so far.
