Vented View

When those you once trusted betray,
and leave your heart in painful dismay,
when ones you felt would see your view,
understand nothing and walk away from you
when hearts you embraced turn cruel and cold
Still for hope you must reach out and hold.

When trust is crushed, and judgements misplaced
still strive for positives and don a smiling face
strengthen your heart and reinforce your faith
believe theres still good to be found in this place

when broken, burned, and battered about
rise up from the ashes and have no doubt
when sadness encroaches it may take a while
but joy will reign again and life brings a smile .
