Riot

I'm sick of being nice then getting stepped on as a result.

I've always been nice.

That's just how I am.

Wether it's lending a penny,

Or helping out a friend.

What I didn't count on,

Was getting my pay-back.

I didn't expect what I got.

But what I got makes me sick.

Whenever I try to help,

or I try to be nice,

People just spit in my face,

and turn around and don't look twice.

What you put into the world, 

is most certainly not what you get back.

I'm so sick of being nice.

Of caring when others don't.

If all I get back is s**t,

there simply is no point.

Wonderful poem. one that I think alot of people can relate to because they are in this situation. I don't think turning negative will help any, but it's the case for many people. Anyways, poem-wise, I think this was a realistic poem and written well. Great job! :)

A powerful poem. Being cold and heartless make you norm in this world. But we have enough devils and demons in this world. Better to be kind and be able to look at your self. Negative leave you on a dead-end road. Kind people have real friends and can sleep in peace at night. I understand the poem. Hard to see kindness in return in this world. But someone must be the hand to reach out and help. A excellent poem.
