Check It Out

The good can't be too good enough.
And those kind,
Are considered weak.
Those who choose,
To stay single and independent...
Are rumored to be thoughtless,
With a selfish streak...
They don't mind to feed.

The eldest in any family,
Has to learn quickly the meaning...
Of responsibility.
Those who are younger,
Often grow older believing...
They've been cheated.
Because left unaware of it,
Everyone catered to their needs.

Check it out!

Those who are most likely to divorce,
Are generally leaders as well.
And of course some are the first that are born,
Who learn to mask and hide their feelings...
On their sleeves not to leave or to be worn.
So no one can tell the emotions within them.
Or the thoughts that reside,
Inside that dwell.
