I Was Once Told
I was once told
I was too kind
"How could that be?"
I thought in my mind.
Kindness
Is a good thing
Something essential to have
It benefits you
And those around you
In fact it,
It makes them want to surround you.
I asked my mother
What could that mean,
She said
"Don't worry honey,
They just wanted warn you
To limit your kindness
Or people will use you."
I gave her a confused look
She continued,
As if reciting from a book
"If you're too kind
People will use you
They'll walk all over you,
Not caring if they use you."
Today
Those words came back to me

I'm so sorry I didn't update yesterday, I've been pretty busy. School's coming up in a few days, but I'll try to keep updating at least once a week. Please don't forget to vote & follow, I'm currently working on a Hunger Games fan fiction, a kpop fanfiction, a brand new book and a short Kpop related story(which will be up soon). I'll continue working on "Every Rose Has Its Thorns". From how it's progressing, I think it'll have 20 chapters rather than the original 15 that I'd planned on writing. ( I wrote 15 so far, but the story still doesn't feel done to me.)
Vote, Comment (even negative comments) and follow for more.
