I accidently named two of my poems "Trust". Now I need to trust somebody to come up with suggestions for what to name one or both of them. Thank you in advance.
TRUST
By ... Steve Lucky
Judging people at a glance
Never gives them the proper chance
To show there in more than meets the eye
In anyone who is willing to try.
Parts of their personality
Strangers rarely get to see.
Good and bad qualities people hide,
Afraid to show what they have inside.
This fear can be overcome by trust,
Preferably the kind that will not rust
From unkept promises and false beliefs.
Tribeless drifters and indian chiefs
Know trust is a daily chore.
It requires something more.
Going beyond the call of duty
Is the true nature of its beauty.
Trusting others is needed too
Giving them a better view
Why trust is a good way to start
Love coming from deep within the heart.
Trust can leave one open to attack
With no way of fighting back.
People can feel really used
When this quality is abused.
Still trust in needed in order to learn
Better ways for one to earn
The trust of a fearsome, frightened stranger
In any conceivable type of danger

TRUST
By ... Steve Lucky
At least one time, everyone must
In another place vital trust.
Although this trust can be betrayed,
It can not be avoided, only delayed.
Being dependent on one another
It is important to discover
Who to trust when trust is needed.
Sometimes one has desperately pleaded
For another to complete a needed chore.
Then one will know whether or not to ask for more.
Other times trust must be earned
As who is trustworthy is slowly learned.
Trust can be fragile, easily broken
Or for a lifetime once the words are spoken.
Together everyone can thrive.
Apart it is hard to even survive.
