Have you ever gotten the bitter end of things for being too nice? Has someone ever cut you out of traffic, or the supermarket line, embarrass you in public, or trifle with your emotions? Many of us are sincerely nice human beings, and we truly want to be good citizens of the world, but what is the cost of being too nice in a relationship,  at work, to a stranger?  "There are people who are going to expect you to always give in the extra mile, be the better one, be nice always. Those are not your people. Your people are the ones who will tell you to remove toxic individuals from your life, remove toxic friendships and relationships from your life, and break someone's car door window (and they'll help you do it too). Those are your people." C. JoyBell C. What's wrong with being too nice?🤔 These are commonly asked questions about being too nice: Is it weird to be too nice? Is being too nice toxic? Is being too nice a red flag? Why is being too nice a turn-off? Here...

Hindsight mourned my life of yesterday,  Tears meandered like streams through dark, lonely valleys, Time's faithful hands, years behind me, Oh, how time flies, Wishful thinking of all that could have been, Time lingers no more,  Hindsight scourged my life of yesterday,  Forgetting not a wasted moment,  Or the opportunities I've slighted along the way,  Procrastination has gotten the best of me, They say better late than never,   But late is sometimes too late, Tomorrow's never a promise for us to keep, Time waits for no one.  Annette Kinglock-Murray  © 2022  All  Rights Reserved  Read more poems: Sometimes I play the fool

  Sometimes I play the fool, Weighing their loyalty against mine, Truth, error, blatant lies! Let them think I'm crazy, Tenderhearted, unblinded eyes,  Ruminating their meaningless thoughts, In the midst of their madness, senses awake, Feigned emotions, like musty air escaping their lips, Another favor, A dire need, A treasure to their soul, A scorching flame in mine, Ever wanting more, Nothing to give, Let them call me crazy, Clown's in town, Deafening  silence, eagles eyes, The show must go on,  Play the fool to catch the fool, They call themselves wise. PS: Some people will love you as much as they can use you. Their loyalty ends where the benefits stop. Annette Kinglock-Murray  © 2022 All Rights Reserved  Other poems: As if I wasn't made to feel  

  We live in a world where it seems only the fittest of the fittest survive on the journey of life. As the world evolves and things and times change, fast. It seems our world is slowly losing its humanity. We don't need to look far to see the horrible effects of greed,  hatred, selfishness, and war. You may be wondering how you can make the world a better place. You can begin by being a better human.  Not just to people you've known all your life, but those you haven't had much contact with. These are 10 ways through which you can become a better human.  1. Put love into action.  Treat others the way you'd want to be treated. The same way that you wouldn't want others to trample your feelings and treat you as though you mean nothing to them. Give the love that you'd want for yourself. Show others that you truly care for them. Don't say one thing and mean the other. 2. Celebrate other people's success. Be happy for others when they are progressing in life...

Only the night knows her truth, Mamma Mia!  Daytime shenanigans,  Obeisance of the night,  Knees  cuddled up to her chest, Smiles smothered in teardrops, Sipping bitter wine, Clutching musty cigarettes, Ugly cries, Truth conquers lies,  The skeletons  come out of her closet, Ain't no laughter for her puppet show,  Every heart knows its sorrow, Things aren't always as they seem, She smiles above the pain, A warrior at daylight, but Only the night knows her well!

  "A friend today, could be an enemy tomorrow". A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.  Elbert Hubbard The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.  Bob Marley. Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you haven't learned anything.  Muhammad Ali I've witnessed the fall of a friendship recently, and when they spilled the beans things got ugly. They both said things they shouldn't have said, and the big question was. Were they ever friends? Many of us have either broken off friendships or witnessed other people who were no longer friends disclose things they've vowed to keep amongst themselves.  Should we tell our friends everything? If yes, what are your reasons for doing so? If not, what's your reason for not telling your friends everything? In forging friendships ...

  Poem about feeling empty, broken, and alone inside.   Happiness never lingers here, Sheer joy and peace a chasm, As if I wasn't made to feel, The rapture of loving arms consoling me, Or the pitiful pleas of this world, Being so empty and broken without me. As if I wasn't made to feel, The bounties of endless love, Soothing this bleeding heart within me, As if I wasn't made to feel, Loved by those I've truly loved, With every fiber of my being. As if I wasn't made to feel,  Truth in the eyes of someone, Who's longing to come home to me, It's never a haven, If emptiness and sorrow dwells there,  These broken pieces of mine,  Are all I'm left to feel.
