Trust within



I don't trust within me.
But I trust God within me!
I have failed me before.
I can't believe myself anymore.
But each time I think tap out...
I let someone else shout out.
I don't trust myself there either.
I'm my own deciever
Or just a reciever of my own receipt.
Science or math?
Sacred self wrong path?
Then it's lovely for a while.
Like a torch switched on.
But I just don't know how long these batteries last.
But I think I can trust within until I trust someone else as much as myself or less...
