PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I rely on others

For my happiness.

As much as I try to

Pretend I don't,

I've learned to live

With it.



But I've also learned

To not trust others

With my secrets

Because they will

Invariably turn

Their back.



And each person

Takes a piece of me

With them that I

Should have never

Given up.



So, now I get my

Motivation to live

From a stranger's

Smile and well wishes

Realizing they know

Nothing about me

And maybe it's better

that way.
