How does one decide?

On people coming from small places 
With big egos
On people embracing their scars just to
Keep running the show
How does one decide, when to stop?
Let the bad talk, to let the good rot?

On people who say they need help
But deserve none
On people afraid to ask a friend’s help
Move their whole world
How does one decide, who gets what?
Let the selfish in, to help the selfless out?

On people who sweet talk out loud
And mean none
On people who see themselves and you 
As nothing but one
How does one decide, when it’s all said and done?
Let the charmer stay, to make the honest, run?
