The frustration felt when people only pick on your bad points.

Don’t you just hate it

When people only pick on your bad points?

All the time you try to do what’s right

And no-one bothers to point it out

You show respect and you have good manners

You try hard not to offend anyone

Then one day you lose your temper and forget your manners

When you’ve been frustrated and upset by someone

Then people remember this one bad episode

And forget your good and clean record altogether

They talk about you to their neighbours and on the phone

And forget about the fact that they’re not perfect either

If someone is mostly good

And seldom does things out of character

Give credit where it’s due

And compliment their attractive nature

I may not be perfect

After all I am of the flesh

But if I am mostly good, remember to take note of it

Because at the end of the day, we’re all only humans trying to do our best

    Treat others as you want to be treated – I forget this all too often.

    People remember the mistakes,
    Forget the blows we take,
    For them and all the good deeds done.
    Just move on because you know you’re fun!
