Don’t take my kindness as a weakness,
or my time as something to waste.
If you keep asking the same questions,
maybe it’s time to walk your own way.

I don’t say “I love you” just to say it —
I show it, in the way I care, in what I do.
Words once meant the world to me,
but too many letdowns taught me to trust action, not promises.
Have you been in this situation before?

On the whole kindness equals weakness thing,
I question any ****-nettle licking bulldog
who with merry abandon will slobber, chase and
bark bark bark at tired rabbits
to hide the bare patch where real ***** should be

Glorious, true strength comes from settling into
another’s shoes and sadness
and making both a little lighter
while still achieving arbitrary, stunted targets
set by dim witted stumps getting paid way too much
