Faults

By WaryDreamer

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Sometimes we are blind to our own faults   and we are unable to see something     that is so obviously apparent to everyone else. But just as often, the reverse is true   and our own faults loom enormously out in front of us     because we know what they are to their fullest extent. Other people are more tolerant of these faults   and don't judge us as harshly     because they see only a result of a fault       that we ourselves view as a weakness within us. Somehow,   it's the WEAKNESS more so than the fault     that we have difficulty forgiving.                 ~~~~~~~ I don't think others are oblivious to our shortcomings.   In fact, I think they choose to see or ignore certain ones. The golden truth is, we don't have to live up to their expectations,   but rather to set our own goals with standards we won't regret.                                 mNovember 1986 Written October 23rd, 2001 © on Oct 23 2001 10:59 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
