Yieldance

Two good reasons to care
What others think of you:

One, even when you’re most
Helpless, other people

May be helpful to you;
Two, even when you’re most

Competent, powerful,
Others can destroy you.

It’s not that opinion
Deserves to define you.

Acknowledge humans are
Both dangerous and kind.

A bear respects winter
Enough to make a den.

A frog respects water
Enough to splash back in.

Humans respect humans
Enough to flatter them.
