ON GETTING HUMBLE?
forever I've thought
'me' very special
find out is not true--
same as everyone
else, even you.
forever I've driven
loaded up with stuff
in sagging carriage
handing my love what
some say “baggage”.
forever arranging
this, that and others
what they do, even say,
never changing
where I work and play.
forever in dark night
hiding great fright
from your sight
peeps I am alone
not really home
forever however
does not last
runs by fast
while I, so clever
believed surpassed.
forever, ever the ass
of egocentric pride
much do I have to atone
before final sky-ride
forever alone. alone

You're pretty hard on yourself, dude.
ReplyDeleteman was not made to walk alone my friend...and the debt has been paid...
ReplyDeleteAss? Never.
ReplyDeleteI continue, be it alone or not.
ReplyDeleteThis is life.
Not just a poem . Never alone , we all have a friend in God :):)
ReplyDeletePride can be man or womans downfall - well crafted and honest too
ReplyDeleteMONKEY MAN:
ReplyDeleteThank for concern, but my insanity lasts for only few minutes--usually!
BRIAN:
Some debts God will need to handle. But I agree, we do not ever have to be alone. "Lonely Peeps, band together"--grin!
TESS KINCAID:
Well, I was humiliated for many years as a child by my own father who belittled me *always* in front of any and every...and alone also. Maybe one day I'll re-post that blog Thank you, though! You are a supportive blog-friend!
RAINFIELD 61:
I agree, the acronym is so true: NMW...No Matter What!
KAVITA:
You are SO right. How is it that one can not forget--but somehow overlook for brief periods? Thanks!
MOONDUSTWRITER:
Remember? Pride can be also the downfall of the brightest star in the angelic hierarchy. Name was Lucifer (Light!)...
As I understand, pride is the very first sin, and the basis for every sin thereafter. Thanks for coming by, Leslie.
Oh Steveroni, dear.
ReplyDeletehow can you be holding up tears and silly fears of
being alone... ???
we are all alone when we want
we are as we like
and as that we die...
Smile, peep!
Isn't it funny how we all use ourselves as the measuring stick of right or normal? Humility sets us free.
ReplyDeleteBaggage - like cabbage - is best stewed. Oh, that doesn't work does it. Or maybe it's so profound, I can't figure it out. Happy Friday!
MAGPIE:
ReplyDeleteCabbage--like mental baggage--is best stewed. Well, THAT sure didn't work out either. No even profound! Happy weekend to YOU!
DULCE:
Tears and silly fears? Well, you are right--it is ridiculous. For I am really hap- (ooops!) at peace mostly. It is just those—ahhh--moments which seem troublesome.
Hey girl...smile!
PEACE!
