Kind to the world
Is just being nice
Kind to a few
Effective and suffice
Nice to the face
Cruel to their back
Do it too often
You’ll be labeled a brat
When everyone’s your darling
Everything you do— love
Special’s no longer special
Nothing below or above
I can’t love it all
Not the manner to live
A select few for my care
Focused attention to give
The trouble is finding
The issue? How to pick
I struggle to meet one
Who understands how I tick
When I do find a soul
That enchants my eye
Lasting friendship is elusive
And persistence becomes fried
Is it too hard to ask
For just one to reciprocate?
I’ll ask Santa for someone
For me alienation will abate
