Skeptic
10 June, 2006

Years of betrayal, a skeptic I've become.
Not proud of the outcome.

The good thing about is I'm careful now.
The bad thing is I don't trust not knowing how.

Learning with age to tell the good and bad ones.

so true

Very wise words ... the way you are treated can affect you for the rest of your life Barb. Yes, we do get wiser with age, which does help.

couldn't agree more

with these wise words you've written here. The line "the bad thing is I don't trust--NOT KNOWING HOW really hit me right between the eyes. Very uncomfortable and lonely way to go thru life. But you offered a bit of hope--that with age we acquire the wisdom to discern, implying that we'll at least have the opportunity to TRY to trust again. Thanks for your words of wisdom.

i enjoy the true nature of your wisdom,

you stress a fine point across here Doll,i find it so evil of any person to decieve and betray any heart, i agree w/ Cap and Caty as well,i believe in total honesty, after one loses trust, you must work hard to earn it, trust has to be built on a concrete foundation within a heart and sou.
so true "Live and Learn" but dang it cain take a chunk out of you..great write Sweetie
