I Have Some Way To Poem by Francis Duggan

Since to my higher self i struggle to be true
Suppose good Karma is something i am not due
At times i do feel that i leave myself down
Though many more like me on this side of the town
To be a good person i have some way to go
One can say of me i am my own greatest foe
I am not the person that you think you do see
As there are clouds of darkness within the real me
So lucky the one of the enlightened mind
Who have it in him or her to be compassionate and kind
Who of others do only have nice things to say
The people who do their good deeds every day
To be a good person i have some way to go
I do believe i am my own greatest foe.
