Judging Ourselves Poem by Anita Atina
Judging Ourselves
We dislike in others, reflections of
The dark shadows of our soul
We want to escape
Judging others
Criticizing, fault finding
In reality condemning ourselves
Unable to face the truth
Rejecting the reality we may find
Forgiving ourselves too easily
While transferring blame to the other
He did this to me! Look at what she did!
Its easier to get by this way, but not simpler
Truth doesn’t escape a knowing heart
Biding time, till we accept
That judging others is to judge ourselves

Judge in a mirror and not a window. Such wisdom and articulated quite nicely. Stone
awesome inciteful poem Anita...so many truths in this...by finding faults in others you are really just covering up your own flaws...truth finds everyone...i really enjoyed, excellent poem
That one speaks home almost too uncomfortably. It would be good if one did not go on wanting to escape the next time too.

And it is a judgment on ourselves too. A poem strong and true.
