When I Was Young

When i was young
my parents used to tell me
to love my neighbours as my self

I kept to their words
and didn't want to disobey them
for i know that,
disobeying your parents
is a sin in the sight of God

So, i loved my neighbours so much
as I love myself that i will risk or do anything for them,
just to make them happy
And i was honest and very kind to everyone
that comes across my way

I was that affectionate to everybody
until it came to a certain point
where i realized that everybody
don’t love me as they love theirself

The only love they got for me
was nothing but pain and misery
with the state of mind insanity,
and made me a vanity human being

After so much misery, then i gave up
on everything and everybody
because you can’t eat or enjoy a meal with too much salt in it
And i also realized and learnt that,
it’s good to love one another, but sometimes
not every living soul deserves your love nor your help.
