Who can you trust?

March 7th, 2008 · No Comments

Thought I’d check in with you to see how you’re doing.
It’s been a while since you called me and I was just wondering if you’re o.k.

I heard that you were in a fight again today. This is the 5th fight this week
isn’t it?

You got blamed for doing something you didn’t do and then
got beat up by the same person who blamed you.

I know your ego and self-confidence are bruised. You’ve been psychologically
used and bloodied and you really don’t know what to do anymore. Who can you trust?

Now you’re hearing a new taunt from your taunter.
They’re willing to share some of their abuse-juice with you
so you can co-abuse under their leadership. They say
you can be the co-captain on their team if you just give up.

You shake your head trying to get out of the psycho-psych-out daze
and wonder if there’s anyone around to give you a hand, a vote.
Is there anyone around who still believes?

Like the triumphal entry, how soon they are to crucify.
How soon they are to crucify?
Who can you trust?

Will I deny you?
Who can you trust?

Will I abandon you?
Who can you trust?

Will I believe in you?
Who can you trust?

Who can you trust?
