The Best Way To Kill

There's no such thing
As being too nice.

And there's no such thing
As saying sorry too often.

Don't let others bother you,
But don't hesitate
To show them who's the bigger person.

Not by yelling harsher words than they do,
But rather by wishing them a good day.

Although releasing all your anger
May seem satisfying
When it's just a random stranger,
I'm here to start verifying
That nothing feels as much of an accomplishment
As when you put them in their place,
Much to their astonishment,
With a smile on your face.

Because the best way
To put out someone's fire
Is to kill them.

With kindness, of course.

My mom was two seconds away from strangling this bitch at the bottle depot today, but I calmed her down.

Talk about strange ways of inspiration lol.
