When you start telling a loved one
What he or she would like to hear
Rather than what you wish to say,
You are losing your dignity.
A yearning for one’s dignity
Is the strongest of all desires.
It must be the last sacrifice
One must be willing to make.
What you can give up to maintain
Dignity will make your self-worth.
What you can receive at the cost
Of dignity will mar the self-worth.
To set aside your self esteem
So as to give in to demands,
Would help you setting a pattern
You’ll be expected to repeat.
True love presupposes trust
And not surrendering dignity.
Trust is built upon honesty,
Which is spoilt by greediness.
Draw a line right from the beginning
Around you and make it explicit
So that others don’t trespass it
And your dignity is not bruised.
