Humble me,
Life.
I’m way too high
I’m far too happy.
Shake me up,
Cut me down.
I’m thriving, see
Light on my feet
Cheeky grin.
I feel good
Too good.
Do your thing.
Put me in check.
Break my heart.
Crush my spirit.
Remind me.
To live is to suffer.
Life,
Remind me.
Don’t let me get too far
Don’t let me get used to this.
Do it now.
If you wait too long
I might not survive the fall.
Do it now,
Life.
Humble me.

Friends! It’s been a minute! I was going through it majorly last night time I posted. Guess what? Still am. Know what else? Still breathing. 😉 Also, this poem sounds kind of dark, but it doesn’t feel that way. I do believe we all need to be humbled now and then… perhaps not at the spirit crushing level though. This is written from that too-good-to-be-true perspective. You know, when everything is going so right that you get kind of nervous? I haven’t been there in while! I’m definitely on the recently humbled side of things, but they say it’s a roller coaster, right?
