Problems come and go, opinions differ,

Sunsets dive and sunrises revive, tell me what you prefer.

The truth, which is so sweet and sour,

Or a lie, which gains more power.

Do tell, where'd you get your heart?

So virtued and merited but so torn apart,

Talent can't be much good for you

Since it gives, but it takes back too

Do tell, where'd you get your mind?

So practical and acerbic but yet so kind,

Choices are not arbitrary but decided

Since your reward is surely not undivided.

Human nature can't be good for you

Since you give much, but more it wants too.

Do tell, where'd you get your sense?

You're the everyone for everything, yet without pretense.

The world is cruel, I know, its inhabitants make it.

You toil and turmoil but still you don't deem fit,

Kind people are not made for this world.

For at them most obstacles are hurled.

To keep your head high, you have to keep your doubts nigh,

Difficult it is, but bear you must,

Because now the hunt begins for people you can trust.

Do tell, where'd you get your resilience

Since with it you shine with brilliance.

Most envy you, most love you not,

Since they live in your shadow, since next to you they're unsought,

You're everything they want to be, so they despise you so.

This rhyme came out of oblivion, so I'm leaving it her.

Remember to love those you adore, and those you fear.
