Costly

Trust
Such a simple, yet complex word
Do I trust no one

Perception
Stronger than reality
How true

Taking things for granted
How easy and automatic this action has become
This needs changing

Was it a costly move
To have angered someone close to me
I hope not

Just kept pushing and pushing
Without realizing and thinking
I have gone beyond the acceptable limit

Betrayal
I hope it is not seen as such
Once bitten twice shy

So close ... Too close for comfort
Hope that it has not reached the point of no return
I certainly hope so

What has become of me?
Have I completely lost it?
I hope not

Who am I?
Was the me in the past really so different from the me now?
I cannot see much difference, though some beg to differ

My dear friends ...
Thank you for being patient with me
For guiding me all this while
For being my pillar of support during my darkest days

The sun has shone through
The light at the end of the tunnel is within reach
I am almost there

Please bear with me for a little while more ...
