I don’t know me

I thought I was humble

Until I started writing about me

I thought I was righteous

Until I justified peccadilloes committed by me

I thought I despised racism

Until I felt “the unreasonable fear” in me

I thought I was above criticism

Until I saw the flaws in me

I thought I was gentle

Until my ego got the better of me

I thought I was human

Until I encountered the animal in me..

I realized I cannot judge others’ characters

Until I can make peace with me
