Helpless to know your belief is absent in me.

But what credit score would it take, for you to trust in me?

Strangers we stand, so I won’t blame you,

But give me a chance, and I’ll never disappoint you.

.

Even if you think the world is out to get you,

At least know that I am here to defend you.

I’ll keep your secrets safe, I swear to you.

And I’m not asking for reciprocating trust.

But it takes one to know one, so can I trust in you?

.

And do I sound like a counterfeit,

Pretentious in my rhyme of speech?

But that’s how desperate I’ve stooped,

Just to explain to you.

That,

I’m good for it.

 

.

Don’t lose hope in people,

Not just yet.

.
