How I Respond To Critics
If someone mocked my poetry, I will maintain silence,
Not a word I will write in response
I am not answerable to my critic!
Comments of critics are visible to all
With their comments they tarnish their own image
Some people are egoistic, negative and critical.
That's the way God has made them, I cannot change them.
But my happiness is my responsibility I owe it to myself
It's in my hands and no one can steal it if I don't allow
I have learnt over years, to keep mind in present moment
Present moment is thoughtless and peaceful
I don't think much especially negative thoughts I shun
I respect myself and my poetry,
Poetry is God's blessing to me
Whatever I write comes from deep within,
I don't think I am the author
