Nice men aren’t real
Because nice is a performance
It’s an act to make us comfortable
Following the rules of a social script
Kind men play a different game
They don’t hide behind polite
They can be blunt and direct
As they deliver their compassion
Because kind isn’t a transaction
Kind isn’t always nice or easy
It can have boundaries and be akward
But give me a kind man anyday
I much prefer that over a nice guy.
