The Purgation of Emotions in Tenses

In a letter to my young friend, 

I said, 

As kids you had haters;

People who did not just 

Want to see you;

Not even in success.

In a letter to my young friend,

I wrote,

As adults you get jealousy;

There are the bonuses of success.

Those who will do anything 

To be in your position 

For the satisfaction of their admirations.

In a letter to my young friend I wrote,

That a boss must know when to be bossy.

But be careful with pride,

For pride is costly.
