Thank You For Your Kindness

Thank you for your kindness,
for I may seem in need.
I may not deserve it.
And you won't feed my greed.

Thank you for your kindness,
for I may seem weak.
When I'm helpless I'm stronger.
Indebted, I'm meek.

Of my best interests at heart,
your actions speak
While my arrogance whispers
it's something else you seek

Your kindness you think is selfless and free.
You are wrong.
Your kindness only seals your superiority to me.

Perhaps, you're unaware
what your kindness does entail.

Thank you for your kindness.
My freedom is not for sale.
