What A Crazy Random Happenstance

The Recital

Humility

(a poem I wrote as apart of my creative writing portfolio in 2011)

I had never met humility

So he gladly introduced himself to me

With a firm handshake, but a humble grip

The advice he gave me was a very good tip

He told me, “Don’t be too proud

You aren’t the greatest amongst the crowd”

I replied, “But I am great”

Not knowing that’s what people hate

He sighed, realizing what I couldn’t see

I was blind to my inferiority

All I wanted was to be significant

To leave my mark on the pavement

I wanted to be a household name

To live next door to fortune and fame

Humility told me, “You don’t have to be perfect

But, you should treat others with respect.”

He walked away without another word

Back then I thought he was absolutely absurd

But time and experience thought me otherwise

I learned what I looked like in others eyes

P.S. - go watch Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog (it's on Netflix)
