With peace

To know myself is

To know when I go wrong,

Where I am negative

And how I hurt someone.

To know myself is

To know when I deceive,

Why I lie, why I belie

And how I misappropriate.

To know myself is

To know when I lack pity,

Why I escape, why I desert

And how I manipulate.

By knowing myself

I may not swim fast,

I may not scale high

But with peace I can die.
