What Kind of Fool

By:  Chris Avidano

 

What kind of fool lets his heart rule over his mind

Knowing all too well of the trouble that lies ahead

And all of the challenges that will be faced

But never completed and never to see victory?

 

What kind of fool lets others dictate how he is to feel

About certain people that he truly cares about

And lets others dictate what his lifestyle is

Regarding who he does love and who he does live for?

 

What kind of fool allows people to walk all over him

With intentions of just being out to harm him

And he never puts up the fight in defense

But lets those people continue to tear down all his defenses?

 

What kind of fool does not have the sense to come in from the rain

Where everyone is constantly insulting and putting him down

To depths that no mortal human should ever have to experience

And is then unable to pull himself back up to where he needs to be?

 

The kind of fool that lets his heart rule over his mind,

That lets others dictate his feelings and emotions,

That lets people walk over him with not a single push back,

That continually gets rained on can be found in one person, me.
