Kind

Something I once laid claim to

Erroneously

I am not kind.

I know that now.

Soft, compassionate, caring; yes.

Kind; no.

To be kind is to give succor and sweetness to those against you.

To help and ease their pain.

To be nice when they are not.

I am not kind.

Too often do I dream of retribution.

Lex dura, sed lex.

I am coming for you.
