Believing was once
an easy thing
What someone said
was always true
no choice involved
questions never asked
Believing was once
an easy thing
But over time
the child in me
began to see
that people lie
Believing was once
an easy thing
Then began
having to choose
what to believe
who to trust
Believing was once
an easy thing
But the choice of another
could cause one
to believe a lie
disguised as truth
Believing was once
an easy thing
No longer
is that true
believing is a choice
that MUST be made
Believing was once
an easy thing
