Mind your business

NafisaSB

You mind your business

And I will mind mine

Then believe me, my friend

All well be fine

 

There’s a fine line drawn

Between curiosity and care

And those who cross the line

Really need to beware

 

It’s not good manners

To pass a personal remark

And if you are still doing it

You are completely off the mark

 

So, restrain your speech

Be polite when you talk

Be graceful and be grateful

And keep your lips locked

 

I don’t pry in your affairs

And will not be pried in mine

Only then will our friendship survive

And will be hunky dory and fine.

 

If you are worthy of my confidence

Believe me, I will share

For I have learnt to recognize

Those who really care

 

But if you want to gossip

Then count me out, my dear

For no way will I tell you

All you want to hear.

 

So curb that little instinct

That makes you want to know

Everything about everyone

Right from the word ‘Go’.

    You've said NO! in some very neat lines Nafisa, They may pay more attention and consider their next line more carefully in future....

      i sincerely hope so, because i respect people's privacy; and would like to have mine respected too. we only share our secrets or hopes and aspirations with those whom we are comfortable - not with those who are curious just to taunt or exploit your weaknesses
