Be Better

Please?

By Vicious AvaricePublished 2 years ago 1 min read

You cannot force someone to be better

But you can ask

You shouldn’t expect them to be

Because they may not be up to the task

If you find yourself making excuses

You must act

Either try to speak with them

Or leave and never look back

Because it’s not just your expectations

That are at risk

But also the waves of how you feel

Reflected in their optic disc

You will hurt them As they hurt you

And you will spiral

As they will too

So find your equals

And let the others go

Or your perspective

Will cause you nothing but woe
