Picking Up Cues

Children pick up cues from all

The people that surround them,

Formulating ways to interact

With those around them.

 

As they grow, they learn how some

Behaviors will affect them

And also how their actions

Might cause people to reject them.

 

But on the other hand, they find

Some manners to embrace,

Expecting adulation, though

That might not be the case.

 

Our personalities evolve

From witnessing those cues

And learning which traits help us

And which others we should lose.

 

Yet sometimes we are clueless

Of the way we are perceived,

For early interactions

Weren’t trusted or believed.

 

To some, life is a struggle,

Trying way too hard to please,

While to those who are oblivious,

They never need appease.
