Many a criticism, comes cleverly disguised,
Given albeit freely, as a genuine mentor's advice;
The intent they say, is to make ones' life nice,
Eliminating in us, our so called vice.
Remember you made, a very conscious choice,
And embraced the chance, to be rude in your stance;
You have decided, to use a harsh voice,
Berate someone, to feel superior and rejoice.
If that's the case, do understand, it's not my flaw,
To diminish this hurt, I let our friendship unthaw;
I shall ignore you and all your surrounding noise,
Remain aloof and avoid arguments with a poise.
A critical motivation, only works on those people,
Who for praise, readily tread steep hills;
Then there are a few like me, content in our space,
We need candor instead, and guidance with grace.
State the fact, as you see it straight,
Add actuals, not comments filled with spate;
I need to know the reason, and the rationale behind the why,
To attempt to change, or at least give it a try.
Know your audience, before you choose your speech,
Opt the right way, before you start to preach;
If the strum is wrong, even the music takes a beat,
Best of your advice, may end up being a bad fit.
Quit playing games, to make yourself feel better and proud,
Lest your voice be tuned out, like a din that’s too loud.
Candid and open observations, always help people grow,
They will appreciate you, for their rise and all the care you show.
