The Balance of Kindness

Explores the challenges of being kind and the internal struggle of maintaining peace while dealing with people who take advantage of one's kindness.

Sometimes it's hard to be too nice, For people take advantage, not once, but twice. 

One can stand up, but choose peace instead, Holding their tongue, letting thoughts go unsaid.

When kindness meets those who treat others wrong, Feelings turn negative, it doesn't take long. 

Snapping back to reality, trying to stay sane, As people wear masks, causing hidden pain.

To keep the peace, one must move on, But stress builds up when kindness is gone. 

Wondering if others see the harm they do, Or if their conscience remains askew.

In this balance of kindness, one strives to find, A way to be strong, yet gentle and kind. 

For in the end, it's love that prevails, Through life's ups and downs, it never fails.

Author's Note

Love and kindness are powerful forces that can help navigate life's challenges.

I love this poem. Separating the lines into paragraphs might .ake the rhyme easier to read, but it is a beautiful poem.

Thank you, Trace! I appreciate your feedback and suggestion. I'll try to separate the lines into paragraphs to make the rhyme easier to read, but I can't promise it will be done soon. I want to ensure the comprehension and flow of the poem remain intact. Your input is valuable, and I always consider feedback to enhance my work.

You know what, Trace, I think I just did an adjustment of separating it by sentence. Is this what you had in mind? I think it's a good thing, as long as it still has comprehension and the rhyme is easier to read.
