Less Judgemental Life
When our paths crossed for the first time
you behaved arrogantly hurting with me
I found you wore a mask to hide secrets prime
us on the same page I knew I would never see.
Our paths forked for I found you rudely shrewd
as I traveled composed down the memory lane
your veritable valued self-respect I misconstrued
the mistake I learned to own up with mental pain.
I set my self-centric life on the right course
became prudent with infusion of tolerance
misunderstanding was erring impulsive force
failed to glean latent truth at the first glance.
Facade of seeming bearing can be deceptive
the contours of real mind it may not define
not to be overly critical is a cathartic objective
for if a bit less judgemental life is so very fine.
