Jan PainT with words
Stay #humble
Don’t get cocky
One day at a time

After a few days
It becomes a while
Things actually work
This abandoned world
A ghost town
Still has a place

A reason to matter
Just today

when I worked
I became
a bit
full of myself
but
over time
I began to
realise
that being
#humble
was the best
way
for me
anyway

angle of attack
versus inflection points—
particle, present participle,
hubble #humble,
grammar gossomar.

stars to dust,
degaussing the scatter;
information now chaos—
all it ever was.

and who ever made sense
of it,
or self.

#HUMBLE

words drop in a jumble
meaning takes a tumble
I want to shout truths
but my mouth can only mumble
writing these poems
sure makes it easy
to stay humble

Pass another piece of #humble pie
as we digest newfound humility

Used to be so cocky

Thought we could rule the wind

Now we find ourselves
flat on our once proud asses

Down but not out

Final bell has not rung

Life sure can hit hard
but it ain't over
as long as we rise up
and fight back

#Humble beginning's
Irritated the naughty
Who were always flirty

Ear's opened wide for
Needles prick & prank
Was anything terrifying ?

The awesome chuckles
Would interpret their
#destiny to rocket cheating

Lilies frowned and roses
Withered for decades
Of this sarcastic scam

darkness weighs humbly
and blooms in silence
growing in barren gardens
an invisible thicket waiting
time is her only #vice
stolen in whims and wiles
#mighty thru shear presence
you unbearably
bow your head in reverence

No one wears #humble anymore.
It’s out of fashion
mistaken for weakness
instead of grace.
It doesn’t shine under bright lights,
doesn’t clammer for attention.

My mask idles in a pool of serinity
Behind it, my ego rages silently
The two battle as they always do
I’m a #humble introvert, an imposter
Surrounding myself in a halo of false pride
An artist with no skill, no talent
So today,
I step back and let the truth breathe

the vacuum sighs
lacking interaction
as timeless light speeds
from forgotten yesterday
to unknowable tomorrow
born from distant debris
travelling fathomless gulfs
never knowing my name
on such silent nights
the weight of being
crushes my spirit
i feel #humble
in immensity

I walked through a museum once where the exhibits were all everyday, #humble things people stopped noticing - doorknobs, mailboxes, paperclips.

I stared at a spoon until it looked infinite. And at least for a while, I was changed.

Lis looked at Fred in his top hat & frock coat.
‘Who are you going as to the Heroes Fancy Dress Ball?’
‘I’m ever so #humble Uriah Heep.’
‘But he was a trickster & a blackmailer.’
‘You have your heroes & I have mine.’

She pronounced #humble as "umble" and strap as "strop". Her roots went back so far in isolation, the Scots-Irish heritage never left. She made puddings any Brit would recognize that had nothing to do with Jello. She was my gramma.

I’ve fought
many battles.
I’ve been
wounded and torn,
yet I stand.
Broken,
betrayed,
abandoned,
rejected
still, I walk with
my head held high

I smile.
I laugh.
I live without fear.

And when I love,
I love deep & hard.

I am #humble.
I am real.
This is me!

Humble comes from the Latin humus "earth" —

which in turn gave rise to human.

And we’ve spent millennia forgetting this connection —

and making the disconnect into an arms race —

or denying it was ever even there in the first place.

reeked of pine sol and plastic
a #humble veneer
distorted egos
foundation of fear

many stood and applauded
the legislation
out of touch with

tired parents
try 2 comfort

if you don't end your life

To be #humble is not to diminish, but to open, to make room for all things. For example, a humble person doesn’t walk ACROSS a field, but rather, INSIDE it. Part of it. Part of something larger.

Humbled

Our love can’t crumble
It’s so immense

My mind will jumble
I’ll make no sense

I’ll mostly mumble
In my defense

I am but humble
In her presence
