Before It’s Too Late

Be careful with kindness, don’t give it away.. Too much of it leads the heart astray. It’s not always ego when drawing a line.. Sometimes it’s courage.. a much healthier sign. In the end, it’s just you in the fight.. So guard your peace, and sleep well at night. Things will shift and people will stray.. Be true to yourself, and don’t be afraid.. All great things begin with a spark.. A dream ignites through the cold and the dark. Goodbyes may sting, but don’t resist.. Some exits lead to paths you missed. Tune in to your soul, its quiet, wise beat.. Not noise and chaos where loud voices meet. A "no" that’s true beats a "yes" that’s fake.. Better for the heart, than a promise that breaks. You played with fire, and yes, you were burned.. Every scar a reminder of something you learned. And though attention may shine and fade.. Respect is always the sweeter accolade.
