Prompt: Handle with care
How are you at receiving criticism? Do you prefer that others treat you with kid gloves, or go for brutal honesty?
Addition or attrition?
Is that the question ?
Or how much can I take?
Be it looks or a cake I bake?
Truth to tell -“hyper critical”- that’s me!
So prepared to take some I must also be…
There’s another side the “hypersensitive me”
Who’s protection is not all that its made to be..
But most of my faults jump out
To my mind , they seem to shout!
So whether I am down n out,
Or perky, happy, up and about,
I know my thorns , I know my warts,
Even better than other friendly hearts..
So when you hand me my unseemly faults
You are saying, what to me, already daunts!
So tread softly, my dear dear friend,
There’s more than one toe to tread
Tell me the truth, tell me what I dread
Just remember, I’m ur dear dear friend! 🙂
