Politeness is underrated
Chivalry is overrated
Kindness is dead.

 

Anger is easy
So is ignorance
Patience is not.

 

A courteous response
A calm smile
A patient ear
Is all people seek sometimes.

 

Be kind.
Not because you are responsible.
Not because you owe it to the world.
Not because you need to oblige.
Be kind.
Because that is all someone might need to not disappear forever.

 

Every single day
He rolled up his sleeve
To conquer the world
With a faint heart and a quaint smile.

 

Every single day
He fought his inner demons
The world saw them as battles
He knew it was a war.

 

Every single day
He dissolved memories
In the sweat of his hard work
Making new ones.

 

Every single day
He painted the past
On the canvas of future
Searching the missing muse.

 

Every single day
He scrubbed off his soul
Peeled off the misunderstandings
Attempting to win a lost war.
Every single day.
