The Beast Is Sleeping

Don't Make The Mistake

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
"Don't mistake my kindness for weakness. The beast in me is sleeping."

We try all the time

to stay 'a kind person',

no matter what is thrown at us.

However,

kindness is not weakness.

We can still be kind

keep our standards

protect ourselves

from that odd person (idiot, if I may say so)

who tries to 'use' us for our kindness.

The Earth is kind to us.

This planet gives us everything we need to live,

food,

clothes,

medicine,

fun.

But

if we humans try to 'take advantage,

be greedy,

the Earth soon let's us know

who's boss!

We can be the same.

Yes,

show that kindness

but if anyone tries to think we are weak

let the beast lose (in a controlled way).

Most people want to be kind

want to show kindness.

Don't let the few who don't,

ruin our personalities.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
