The Key

Life, friendship, wisdom, reality

The Key

 

Bewildered at times

 by the thoughts of mankind.

A shoulder to cry on out of benevolence,

or self love?

The role of a genius,

simply for the praise of your peers?

In need of nothing,

Yet begging so that I may pity you

because you pity yourself?

 

A wise man would cast out of his life all those of whose acceptance he doesn’t receive. 

But a fool would continue to sacrifice his happiness,

for those who take him for granted.

 

The Key, is knowing the difference.
