Take a walk around yourself : By Rajwinraj

Take a walk around yourself

When the cynical side of you emerges
And you feel the sharp tongue’s urges
To lash out the criticism you have for others
And strike them down like a bolt of thunder
Pause for a second and take a deep breath
Let those hurtful words sink to their death

Before you judge others with harsh words
To simply find fault with someone less absurd
Or pin down an innocent one to be the victim
Of office politics and failed negotiations as a mean
It is time for you to take that special walk
So tuck in your shirt and pull up your socks
Turn on the mode of silent stealth
For you need to take that walk around yourself

In the normal average of us all
We rise high but sometimes we fall
These are the many ups and downs in our lives
That keep us going to survive
But when you feel that you’re always better than the rest
Ready to crush down anyone in any contest
Be it belittling or squashing their dignity
It’s time you face your own reality
That is the time you ought to take the real test
To take a walk around yourself and undo the mess

Just before you judge another
Give yourself a break to ponder
Life needs an order of balance
That moment has come to your turn
Harmonise the state of your mind
Look deep inside and you shall find
Self-reflection appears on the shelves
When you take that walk around yourself.
