Promises! Promises!

This was written in 2002-3 time when I felt people let you down left right and centre all the time. Here's the result:

Promises! Promises!

Why is it? Why is it the case
That people let everyone down?
Aren't we worth something?
Don't we deserve that one chance
To prove ourselves?
To have other people make the dream,
The dream of achieving all ambitions
In life - working as a team.
But promises will be made -
Some kept, but others ignored.
One minute you're on top of the world;
The next, a black mass of despair -
Feeling empty without understanding
Why you feel like you do.
Promises will be made - through trust,
Abusing that trust is different.
Promises! Promises!
