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
