If You'Re Sweet Poem by Patti Masterman

If You'Re Sweet

Rating: 5.0


If you're sweet, you earn contempt,
And if you're sour, hatred;
The sum of the attentions force
By kindness, unabated.

If you try to guess their mind,
Nine of ten's guessed wrong,
So don't construct your actions
To suit them, all day long.

Just be yourself and that's enough,
Cause they'll do what they will;
If disassembling is their wont,
Can't matter what you feel.

Remember that this too shall end,
Keep counsel with what's true;
You are the one you answer to-
Real humans are too few.

Does this go for pirates? I will stop worrying what my victims think of me. Great writing, to the point.
