The same

We are to blame for who we are. We build and ruin everything with our own hands.

You know, you are the same. 
The same as people
Surrounding you everyday. 
The same, and those masks,
You forget to change,
Destroy the past, the present
And the next day. 
However, you always
Stay the same. 
You will never try
To break the wall
And show them that
Even if you fall,
There will be the moment 
To doubt. 
You won’t give up and
This is the sign:
You can change the vibe,
But you’re the same
And you know whom to blame.

Author's Note

I've recently found this poem written on a sheet of paper in one of my old notebooks.

Perhaps discovering Self first makes us see others more clearly? Trouble is, takes time to come to terms with who we are; it isn't easy to accept our own flaws because few want to be found wanting!

Your poem is so well put, in spite of English not being your first language. How you write is very much you.. don't alter your wording or style too much, too quickly, please.

Thank you very myuch! Especially for the compliment about my English!
And you are totally right, however being aware of the problem is a pretty big step, so then we may think of how to come to terms with ourselves and proceed with how to accept people around us.

Your writing shows your depths and more, Heilig.

Hummm … We all make mistakes and your poetic approach to the subject summarises those feelings of culpability. However, guilt actually encourages people to have more empathy for others, to take corrective action, and to improve themselves. Self-forgiveness following guilt is self-essential to esteem, which is key to enjoying life and relationships.
Это хорошее стихот�™орение ... Спасибо, что доба�™или!

Thank you for your comment!
Sometimes we just need to understand that we themselves are our first problem to solve. If we know who we are, we can see who are these people around us and start accepting that all of us have battles to fight.
