Make No Mistake

Never mistake the fake for real;

Hard truths, for lack of loving.

The genuine need no introduction,

And we reserve anger only for what we care about.

 

Never love without reason, many ills must be borne

Because of impatience or indifference.

Respect your heart to give it space;

The truth, for room for breathing.
