Trust
By: Cheyenne Taylor Age: 12 Issued: July 26, 2003 (worst day in
history)

All of this time
I've been swimming against the tide
Nothing in this world
Can clear the blur in my eyes
This life has so many obstacles
But I never expected this
This bittersweet companion
This horrifying bliss
This fleeting surge of anger
And all the flooding tears
Everything is dying
And you're getting so near
The power is overcoming
I'll never be the same
I can't look you in the eye
And I shrivel at your name
You prayed upon my soul
Took no mercy on my life
As if I was just an example
Of utmost trouble and strife
I can never trust again
