How Long?

How long to run? Run away from emotions, situations. I ran enough, entire my life Too tired I have to give a break To my old and tired feet. Couldn't make a run. A dog behind me to bite If I run the bite is sure So better is wait and watch Dog can run faster than me It can catch me in no time So I just stood boldly The dog went away slowly. Thinking of bite Made me run And fear catches me in no time Why to run Did running helped any one Think slowly Why this happened If mind is put to gear The solution is sure Be tactful in approach None can tear you apart Until you allow yourself so. I may meet with criticism, I will not run. But I have to swallow it bitterly A day will come To clear me away from all Todays its my day of criticism Tomorrow it can be yours None can escape Am so confident that truth will shine one day. Criticism can put me down, but One thing for sure As long as truthfulness and purity exists in me Nothing can break me down. When others throw a stone It will surely affect Especially when he is criticized for no fault. But a fall in self is so painful One may never get up. ©ALL RIGHTS RESERVED BY GEETHA JAYAKUMAR 2014 © 2014. Geetha Jayakumar.
