SPIKES IN HEART

SPIKES IN HEART


Some people cannot accept
That they do not matter.
Their wild thoughts, through their vile words,
They’re too keen to scatter.

Whether someone is willing
Or not to pay them heed,
They’re convinced that their words are
Full of wisdom indeed.

How to deal with what they say?
It’s best not to listen
To their pearls of poison, though,
Like dew drops they glisten.

Choose your friends with caution since
When adversity strikes,
It is the erstwhile friends who
In your heart poke their spikes.
