Call me cynical

For not having faith in you

Lies have tainted me

Asking to trust what you know

Haven’t we done this before

    Tis the liar with taint
    Consumed by their lie
    do not take
    Upon their burden
    Or fate
    As you know
    Their word you
    Can’t take

      Absolutely my friend, although when trust has been broken, those that ask are viewed as crying wolf.

        Yeah, I’ve just never been concerned what people think about me all that much.

        So I say what I think, and let the chips fall pretty much.

        Sometimes they fall on me.;)

        I am with you, I have been pelted with chips myself, but hey…that’s life. Be well my friend. :)
