Puzzles

It puzzles me
why some people
have these tendencies
to become obnoxious.

Show them
your kindness,
they embrace it, for awhile
then, abuse it.

It puzzles me
why some people
refuse to see you
the way you should
be seen.

Show them
the kind of person
that you have always been
yet, they abuse you.

It puzzles me
why some people
pretend to care
when actually they’re not.

Show them
give them your heart,
she them you care -
yet, they abuse you.

It puzzles me
why people you think
to be on your side –
ended up hurting you.

Then I realize,
we are on earth –
not in heaven.
No such thing as perfect.
