Trust.
What a weird word.
It is only something I can say, something you can never really learn, but only something that can be felt.
Trust, if you can feel it, I envy you, but at the same time i pity you.
If have enough faith in someone for Trust, then you are easily swayed by what they say or ask you to do; Am I wrong? Do you not doubt the people you trust sometimes? Not even for a little bit?
I do not Trust.
I cannot Trust.
It is something within me that prevents me from feeling such a thing.
How other are able to do it so easily really bugs me.
I want to Trust, but I know that I cannot.
I wish to find someone to truly Trust, and never doubt them.
One with which I feel no paigs of distrust towards them.
One in which I can truly call “friend” or “soulmate”.
Even now I will not trust this with anyone.
Trust is also bad in my eyes.
If you Trust someone with the utmost certainty, you will not expect it when they betray you.
This I believe to be true: “No one is truly good”.
Anyone and everyone is guilty for something, or hiding something.
Some of us know how to hide it, others do not.
But if you are able to find that one person that you can truly Trust, then…
Never let them go.
Never doubt them.
Never hurt them.
And if you find anyone else like me, help them.
Do not let them feel like they cannot Trust anyone, because they are different in any way.
Be it gay or straight, white, or black, mental or not.
Help others by being that one person they can truly Trust.

has a lot of issues.I think you could develop this piece into a poem, although the form you chose works well too.
Grammar/Spelling:
There are some grammar issues that I think were mostly pointed out but for a reminder these were the ones I saw
2nd sentence "i" should be capitalized in "i pity you"
3rd stanza/section
you need a pronoun between "If" and "have enough faith", and this section doesn't actually make sense. "Not even for a little bit?" is also not a question. Please change the phrasing for clarity.
In this phrase: "I feel no paigs" I think you meant "pangs" or "pains".
I think your capitalization choices are fine, they don't add much but they make the piece consistent and look clean, also nice choice to continually capitalize "Trust".
Other phrasing issues:
You word choice is not very diverse in this piece, but it makes the piece very consistent and also gives a feeling of repetition.
You overuse the words "something" and "thing" in this piece. They are non-descriptive "junk" words, that should be eliminated whenever possible especially in poetry like pieces. They are junk words because they make the tone so much less formal, they're distracting, and they do not add any meaning.
I would suggest re-thinking what you want the tone of this piece to be and then edit your word choice to match accordingly. The content seems like the tone would be well written formally because you're being like an essayist describing your inner thoughts in a somewhat philosophical way, but you throw in words that kill this tone and honestly take away the authority of your work. Some words I would consider changing unless you change the entire piece to a more casual tone are "bugs me" and "weird".
Overall there were many spots I also felt you had redundant phrasing or were overly wordy without actually adding extra meaning with the extra words.
For example: "Do not let them feel like they cannot Trust anyone, because they are different in any way." could be shortened to "Do not let them feel they cannot Trust just because they are different." the words/phrases "like" and "in any way" do not add anything to the sentence and are distracting. You do this similarly in other places as well. It would be less of an issue if you wrote it as a straight prose form essay but because you adopted the poetry formatting this is noticeable.
I'm a huge critic of the use of ellipses because to me it ruins the flow of a poem and they are often incorrectly used. So I would strongly suggest taking them out in this phrase :
you could take out the word "then" here as well.
Overall:
I felt like there was a great deal of wordiness and redundancy that was unneeded and took away from this piece, I would suggest in this piece and in future pieces (especially if they are formatted like a poem) you should go through each line/sentence and see if you can be more concise and make sure each word (yes, every word) actually adds meaning to the piece as a whole. Also a great help is just reading the piece out loud before you post, this normally catches awkward phrasing and grammar issues. When you can get rid of these issues your readers will be able to focus more on the meaning of your piece and also will trust your authority as a writer more.
Your message is a good one, although even this could be a little more concise because you sort of fluctuate between different meanings and then go for the "be a friend" commission at the end. Overall, your ideas are simply worded and get across well without being "preachy" or boring. It was also an enjoyable piece to read.
Good luck in future works,

Hi Dysalt!
I found this an interesting piece. I can agree with many of the lines here and some of the others are bit confusing to me. I find this piece and can tell you have a message for the readers but sometimes get confused as I read it. Your last three lines are very kind. I can understand the emotions in this work. Trust truly is hard to understand and it's also something that is hard to give out in ways. You can give someone your trust but when they betray you, you have a hard time trusting them or others easily afterwards. I remember learning this lesson many times.
"Trust is something that is given to you but once it's broken, it becomes the hardest thing to gain back." I remember someone telling me this and it most definitely is true. I know of some people who simply can't allow themselves to trust in others and I find that this work truly spins a very well worded definition of trust and the issues it can bring up in people.
I enjoyed this work and wonder if maybe there was a way to explain this in a bit more clearer way but I still enjoyed the read. You have an interesting style that is for sure. Keep up the good work and I hope to read more from you.
Sincerely,
Soulkana
" i pity you. "
Just a little mistake with capitalization here.
" mental "
I wouldn't put that in the poem; it's still offensive or considered a bad term, I have no idea how to use it in the correct way though, but I'd say that is the better term to use.
I'd also suggest putting in "everybody is different", because well, everybody is. And maybe something about "only you can be you, because there is nobody else you can be." (I forgot what quote that was from..)
Just a little thing that I found annoying is the never part, I think you could've put it all in one line but that is your style of writing then leave it be.
Be it gay or straight, white, or black, mental or not.
I don't understand what you mean by "be it?" I think you meant to put something else there..
How other are able to do it so easily really bugs me.
Just a little mistake- it's others instead of other. Also the really part wasn't needed in that line it makes the sentence a little awkward.
Anyways, good work!
