Kindness


Sometimes

When you try to be nice to someone

That person isn't nice back

 

You wonder

Why should I be kind to them

If they are never kind back

 

Well think do you want to them to be unkind to you

Or do you want them to be kind back

 

If you want them to keep being unkind to you

Then be unkind just like they are

 

But if you want them to be kind to you

Then keep being kind to them

 

If you've been kind to them

And they still won't be kind back

Don't give up on them

Keep being kind

Because you are killing them with kindness

And when their killed with kindness

That is when they will start being nice back
