Know What Is Your Own

Life will, sooner or later

Bring you face-to-face

With your own disdain.

Your prejudices will stand

Before you in the mirror

You’ll come to see

You are all that

You had once disowned.

 

You’re afraid-

Now that you can see it-

That you stand exposed;

And minimized.

Before you can get others

To accept you with this ‘flaw’

How do you go about

Accepting yourself?

 

When you reject another

You also reject yourself.

Life is disinterested

In your distinction and

In your individuality

But tune yourself to the world

Stand not in judgement, but in harmony

And you will be revealed to yourself.
