Golden Rule

My Golden Rule
Is don't assume
To know what folks
Are going through 
Or who they are
Because you spoke a few
Times what they choose to divulge to you 
Doesn't paint the total View of them
And yes I may shoot the s*** 
But don't confuse 
Me hitting my social cues
I'm supposed to use
So I don't seem rude 
As offering insight
Into how I live life
Because it won't be true
That's only told to few
Those that choose
To open there hearts
To every soul that moves
Are overdue
To have it broke in two
