It's stating that the irony of our flaws is that we can't see them while others can. We are all delusional to our own flaws, yet see others as though they were wounds on their faces. The irony is, if we were able to see ourselves from an outside perspective (or look within us as the poem suggests) the pain of our realization would save us.
