A single junco hopping carefree;
pecking stray seed in the snow.
The bird fully embraces the world it knows.
It's tiny heart thumps in gratitude;
for the wondrous discovery of food.

There is a difference between nice and kind;
you will hopefully someday find.
Being nice, you are pleasant and agreeable;
only to make yourself shine
in another's judgemental eye.
If you are kind, you have a deeper level of compassion
for a person's needy cry.
I'm done people pleasing.

I would give you the clothes off my back
I earn my trust candy bar at a time; I will always be there for you.
I feel i am too nice but but i could be nicer
I would give you anything, I would make sure you never go hungry
I would do everything in my power to make sure you like me
Because if I am not liked, who am I?
What would I be, if not kind?
Who would i be, if not somebody you smile when you see
I have to be nicer! I have to make people like me!
It's who I am, it's who I have to be!

Why am I not kind enough
Why am I not enough
Just please liked me, I need the validation
I have spent years building this reputation of the nice kid, i can't let it come crashing down
Please, just like me

I don't know what to call this

A peom or rambling

Maybe more of ranting

I wanna be soft and sturdy like...

Be strong like...

Be compassionate like...

Be independent like...

Put my foot down like...

Be nice like...

But he did say
I'm unapologetical for who I am
Or what I stand for

Mostly caught between
Being nice and being me

Saying no and smiling
But I can be both
Maybe I am both

darkness in my heart may stack above the sky, but for sure my rebellion will live on ,
nights of desperation and regret just to light up the same ol' cigarette in the saloon,
the past's hunting all day and night for a trophy to hang above the "wall" in his cocoon,
i want to be consumed by the fumes, letting my failures become the autoimmune fuel,
my will to prove myself as a sour soul turning to his hidden jewels so the devil gets a pistol to his skull,
internal battle made the angel brutal towards the sinful who are hitting the single faithful,
the table of the good and bad is surrounded by bombs ready to release in absurdity.
10 min draft. feel as u like, say what u like. don t become enslaved to something U DON T LIKE.
Wow, 0 poems,
That's cool.
To just observe,
To just love and enjoy.
And not to have to worry,
About other people loving or enjoying you.
I was talking to my friend the other day, and she asked if it ever gets hard being nice to so many people everyday. I guess it is, I just don't seem to notice.

I'm a nice guy
So I know I'll finish last
Push me too far though
And find the guy with the last laugh

i just don't feel like smiling
but i can be nice
sometimes
it's august
used to be july
stating the obvious
isn't a crime
neither is smiling
once in a while
take a look
inside my mind
you'll see how
august
turns to july

Every dog has their day;
As a snake slithering on by.
What left will be to say;
What left economy not shy…
For whom can we protect;
When nothing not left all that said.
Each soul into night wreck;
Will be day by day all so bled…
Let so the flames fakes fourth;
For this will be tears all the joy.
Burning lies come time forth;
Burnt lies no longer to all coy…
What left to be enough,
No longer sinning… all rebuff…
Finally A’ Free

My pain chips away at life
With no precision, it isn't nice
White knuckling a standard butter knife
When it's time to go all the way, it won't think twice

I thought you'd be the one to make me whole again
Not take another piece and leave a hole again
Maybe we shouldn't have taken it further than friend
Maybe I forgot to tell you that I break, I do not bend
I kept from you that being with me comes with a price
But only because I thought not destroying a love for once would be nice
It was never going to be easy, mostly due to me
I thought I'd made every mistake, turns out I did just didn't learn from any
