Self again 2


1 Corinthians 13:12 

12 For now, we see in a mirror indirectly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known.

Self

 

Looking at self through a different light

does not mean you really changed.

Even convincing yourself with all your might

you are probably still the same.

 

Talk to self about being a different guy

without changing yourself a bit

and then the change of self you buy

making the lie in you a custom fit.

 

Others see … that you're still the same

but you argue against that flow

while others think you play a game

as in reality, you're almost schizo.

 

Don't make this now your way of life.

Be real! Show inner self as you are

and if not sure just ask your wife

she’ll show you to be far below par.
