Felix Emeka George Poet Blank verse

Humility Takes You a Long Way

Each morning as i wake
I remember that it isn't just a day.
Reminisces begin to fall
As I remember it all.

I take a moment to cuddle in bed
And I remember the days when I was just a child,
When I was twelve, and gone to secondary school.
My parents stood by me all the way.

At twenty, I hit the cities to survive
I remember too many to mention,
So I travelled to towns and cities, I roamed.
Living in uncles houses, or friends' balconies.
A cast away, with nobody to go to.
I never made the mistake of youth
To become a thief, drug addicts or such vices.
My life holds value to good friends, 
In them I found assistance.
To me a wonder,
How I survived.

I have become a name, 
alive
Instead of merely surviving.
Remember then my life experiences, and you too
Never get too big that you forget how you got here.
As humility takes you a long way in life.
