What We Dislike In Ourselves Poem by Francis Duggan

What We Dislike In Ourselves



The flaws in others that seem obvious to me
Are the flaws in myself that i do not wish to see
Whoever first said that was one who was very wise
Our weaknesses from others we try hard to disguise
And few of us our weaknesses ever do own
Though to others those weaknesses are quite well known
What we do not like about ourselves we try our best to deny
Suppose that is the ego in us and ego to all does apply
What we do not like in ourselves from others we try to hide away
The true self to the world few ever do portray
That is how it is and it always will be
What we dislike in others in ourselves we do see
Though our weaknesses to others do become known
What we dislike in ourselves few of us wish to own.
