Kindness and Caring

Cut your teeth at first

On fruit and salad

Don't try begin with red meat

Take baby steps

Walk before you can run

Don't pretend or feign to know

You have any idea what other people think

Because you ain't them 

Haven't lived or experienced their life

No 2 people are the same not even twins 

And most of all

Don't waste a single second

Of your precious time

On anyone undeserving of your kindness

Not everyone and everything in life

Unfortunately can be saved or helped 

Sadly it will be most probably be

Used against you and taken

As a sign of weakness

In order to see how much they can 

Take and gain from someone like yourself

And might be one of the many complex

Reasons às to why 

Their own no longer seem willing or deem

Them deserving of help or saving
