Confronting the lessons you wish you’d learned,
(A mistrust earned)
Riding the wheels you feared would turn

A mistrust earned, oh, a mistrust I earned
Fled the bedlam; scathed, I stagger on
A mistrust earned, oh, a mistrust I earned

Rushed to trust in the season,
My feet ran from “Oh, where to begin!”
Now stranded on shifting ground
Its pallor confounds
Then again, I’ve looked down

A Mistrust I Earned
