Humility


I see no growth of doing things
I could not do previously
And it becomes a serious problem: more assertive,
more expressive and no fear physically
But less to forget limitation is engrave
in my head and I cannot get out of it
The more I project beyond my control
would mean getting out of my humanity
Yet identity too often a fight for superiority
and a flight from inferiority
And I cannot be happy until I accept the-what
and who in my reality

Perhaps how impotent I am
and I learn it during my infancy
How powerful adults are perfect example
of power and of control
And this childish image has lasting effects in me
and submit to it totally
I try to grow into it believing an adult should be:
with total self-sufficiency
Focusing only on succeeding and change
but inadequate understanding of this all
But these realities do not make me failures
rather they are my humanity

Humility does not produce failure,
it recognizes as a fact of my life
When I fail, when I sink to my image of success
I tend to believe everything is up
Humility makes me look to higher power
and feared on authority
But growing into my physical dimension
and mentally stable but childish in faith
Humility is the bridge between psychology
and spirituality not two different piece
The acceptance of my limitation
and my part in the universe is what I called success

It points me not into pride but opens me to God
the essence and the existence
Because I believe that this more powerful
but never and will not threaten me
Coming out from the pain learning to live life
humbly of what I gain
And sharing this limitation can bring great relief
and the sense of growing
To discover God’s will the happiness it promise
of who I am and where I am going
Humility can melt me less if I forget pride
that blinded my whole countenance

The sin of which I am often quietly dune is the
Self-sufficiency
Needing not the divine authority
and heavenly guide or drawing out from anybody
And it is an illusion for my relationship
with others brings out in me the human

If I repress this awareness for relationship
then I could grasp not of who I am
I believe I need nothing when I am everything
partly alive yet fully dead
Humility then is an attitude towards life
not for best but for loving me and the rest
