people mistake
my kindness
for weakness

allow me
to reassure you
i strike
like a cobra
my tongue
is double bladed
honed
to a razor edge
even if it
cuts me
when it lashes out

it just takes
more
to push me
to that point
but know it is there
no matter
how wide the smile

kindness is free
it feels good

but so does
random violence

you can pick
how the endorphins
surge
