Self respect

NafisaSB

Do not join the crowd

That indulges in meaningless chatter

Stay where you are valued

And your opinions also matter

 

You don’t need to bend backwards

To please one and all

For if you lean back too much

You are definitely bound to fall

 

So if you respect yourself

And walk with head held high

Gossip will not matter

For it’s a half-baked pie

 

Walk out of relationships

Where you are the only giver

For one hand can’t clap alone

You also need to be the receiver..

 

Stay where you are loved

Stay where you are needed

Stay where people respect you

And your words are always heeded
