The Thing About Compassion

There are people in this world who will tell you everyday...
That your kindness is your greatest weakness,
Your faith in people...foolishness,
That the world is a wicked place and it doesn't help to give a damn.
And then, there are people, who will nearly prove them people, right.
They will cheat you, everyday, if you will let them,
They will chip away at your heart from every angle,
They will hurt you in ways you can barely conceive.
But, do not let them steal your light with their darkness.
Do not give in to the voice rooting for you to give up.
Know that,
Compassion, is a virtue of the survivor.
