If you do a mistake you are experienced and wise.
If I am used to something you call it a vice.
If you are used to something you say it is nice!
If I break a promise I am heartless and take you for granted.
If you break a promise you understand the situation and are sainted.
If I am judge-mental I probably don't know the world's way.
If you are judge-mental you know it all and hence you dare to say.
If you pass on an opinion you are true, frank and honest.
If I pass on an opinion I am rude, thoughtless and blankest.
For once If I were you, will you be me ?
For once if we shift our roles will we have a new way to see?

If I cut jokes and laugh I am just not fair to that person.
If you talk and talk and not listen to me, you have better things to speak.
If I talk and talk about me, my monologue is boring and may also reek!
If I shed tears uncontrollably, I am just being cynic and weak.
If you shed tears in fear and pain I should understand and you need no critique.
If you don't stay in touch and cannot talk to me you are just being busy.
If I have a reason for not talking to you, I am just acting and being lousy!
If you shut others mouth when you open yours you are speaking with heart.
If I try to open my mouth you think I talk with anything but heart and you retort!
For once If I were you, will you be me ?
For once if we shift our roles will we have a new way to see?
PS: Feels good to write poems after so long :)

Very thought provoking questions. In reality, on a serious note, no one wants to trade places with others.
Thats true ! No one wants to trade places but if only traded once may be perspectives change.
