You speak the truth, no matter how sweet,
But they aren't used to hearing it, so they think that you're weak.
You're viewed as a fool, a complicated joke,
It's funny the humiliation one heart has to soak.
Why has kindness become a negative trait, I wish I knew,
So that I'd give up the self-sabotage by taking the cue.
My eyes shed no tears, my heart not betrayed,
For the price of kindness I have once again paid.
Thank you for reading! Stay blessed!
