i will never be kind again
for people mistaken kindness
for weakness
they see it as an opportunity
to walk all over you
mock you
belittle you
there is no reward
in being kind and humble
people will take advantage
they will treat you like the underdog
cast their insecurities on to you
they say it is free to be kind
that is no truth
being kind is expensive
it will cost you your peace of mind
your mental well-being
your confidence
your self-esteem
your energy is the highest commodity
treat it as such
like the British pound
can't trade with just any ordinary currency
do not be overly kind
treasure your aura
and only share it with those who are truly worthy
for not everyone is your friend
people are full of st
and they will always try to put you down
to make themselves feel better
heed my warning
for i learnt the hard way
that people are full of s
