Modesty For Everyone

Everyone is special with a certain claim to fame And accordingly, everyone is nothing just the same So when you step back and ponder who and what you are Remember the practices you’ve done to get this far And though, the thoughts bypass on how great you have become Humble yourself quickly or from ruin, you may run It’s the epitome of ignorance that judges all the world While disillusion fertiles thought of a life neatly furled For, it doesn’t really matter what you think you have become Denying dispensability will put you back where you came from Each and every one of us is here to help one another And, everyone out there is your sister and your brother So when modesty surpasses you, and you have the world by the tail Beware of the experience of what it’s like to fail.
