"tiresome"

 They say not to make a porcupine of yourself because you'll be hated, but if you give and share, if you're flatly honest, people do nothing but take it for granted, or just walk all over you, so you realize all of this, being a porcupine doesn't work, being sweet doesn't work, being this or being that, doesn't work, and you end up simply putting poison in a sugarplum, and you don't care who eats it, the old, the young, friend or foe. This is what everyone gets now, which is what they deserve.
