Know Your Level Poem by Rajendra Prasad Meena Jaipur India

Know Your Level

Some people wear pride like a crown,
They turn truth upside down.

They call the wrong the only right,
Just to keep their ego bright.

They argue not to understand,
But to feel strong and in command.

If you step close, they pull you down,
To the place where anger wears the crown.

When you see the world with open eyes,
They hide their hurt behind disguise.

So don't trade calm for their loud fight,
Or give your peace to prove you're right.

You win when you simply step away—
Quiet speaks more than words can say.
