Claim no awareness, yes

Claim no perfection for yourself

Ever

Lest the tides change

The weather never breaks

Or all the stars finally fall

No

The only claim

You should make about self

Is that you were as you were

And are

As your most selfaware self

Wishes you to be

In looking back we know best

What we ought to be tomorrow

Yes
