~Thy Own Self~

There is an old wise saying:

That we are are our own

Worst Enemies from day to day...


There is a friend of mine

That does not agree with me

That I am my own worst enemy...


She has not seen how

Hard I get on myself

When something goes wrong

Rather because of me

Or because of something

I actually said or did....


Apparently some say

That you are a good woman

You just have a good policy.


Those that do not know Thy Own Self

Still have soul searching they must do.

When you seek to know the real you

You have to be honest with yourself.


Knowing thy own self one has to realize

What creates their own happiness.

One has to realize that knowing thy own self

May come with a cost if you will.


That cost of knowing thy own self

May very well be at a price

All depending on how one is raised.


Thy own self comes from within

We all should take the time to

Truly know thy own selves

For we are truly better people when we do.
