In a world where kindness blooms so bright,
Yet shades of truth paint a varied light.
You aim to please, to hearts extend,
But remember well, my dearest friend,
You can't please all, it's not your chore,
For every soul holds a different lore.
Saying you're kind, you needn't boast,
For in every heart, kindness does coast.
Kindness abounds, even in jest and jest,
In foul-mouthed words, it finds its nest.
In cunning acts and schemes it hides,
A universal thread that each abides.
So be not fooled, be not naive,
Let not their words your heart deceive.
For kindness thrives in each soul's way,
But some might lead your heart astray.
With wisdom's cloak, protect your grace,
In life's grand tapestry, find your place.
Let not their whims your spirit chew,
Stand strong, be kind, and be true to you.
