Never
Don’t live your life with skin that’s thin.
Never be sorry, never give in.
Never apologize, never explain.
Never surrender to meanings not plain.
Never forgive, never forget
Never be soft, never regret
Always defend what you know is true
Against others who haven’t a clue.
Arguments based on empathy,
Are spineless, and lack honesty
Though stated with intensity.
They're nonsense, not reality.
