<font color="green">I am coming to feel that trust is not something others have to earn from us but rather something we have to extent to others. Trusting is a risk but what is life without risk? I can live forever in the trap of my fears or I can reach out and attempt to connect to others.

This in particular is written to my therapist. I love her but I struggle with trust still.

Can I trust you?

Can I trust you?
How can I be,
Asking this
Same old question.

But can I trust you?
I think I need to
I want to
So I ask it once again.

So many times
In fear and trembling,
I've asked
You answer's just the same.

Why can't I trust?
You prove yourself
Over and over
But still I fear to trust.

I find that fear
Seems more real to me
Than love
Or safety with another.

I know I can trust you
My fear is really the lie
I wonder
Can you trust me?
