if you're not bettering yourself, you are actually getting worse

you think you've a handle on things
but you're as lost as the rest of us
and in frustration you forget
yourself, or what you (know)

what do i see?

a woman who (believes) she knows herself
[all too well]
and what is right from wrong
and what is wrong'er than other wrongs
and is quick to point out faults in others
and to put them in their "place"

but when did you become the teacher?
who asked you for this test?
what makes your answers right,
or (even) better than the rest?

one can only see what people show them
and this is what you have shown me
that maybe you're the one that needs to learn
what other people need
