Tomorrow,

She will learn humility.

But yesterday,

She’d lay above the luminous stars

Of the uncanny universe.

The ghastly shadows of earth

Was none of her concern.

She would only admonish

Prattling of her brilliance

The same brilliance that was as thin as yarn!

Today,

She declared herself full of mana

She thought as though her appearance should be revered

HOW ILLUSORY!

No ordeal seemed to cross her path

Though, she was no antiquity of beatitude.

Blasphemous acts of canonizing herself

Filled her days.

She realizes there is no shrine for her

No man bowing

No woman praising

She gleaned the bright truth.

She was the nova that is now gas molecules

Lingering in the atmosphere

Trying to find a wall to stick to!

She was so potvaliant,

Intoxicated with her own narcissism!

Because she imagined her abode to be Eden.

Even though there was a hellhound roaming inside.

Because her values were cotton

And gifted from a distant man.

She was the hypocritical

Shallow hearted girl.

Tomorrow,

She will learn humility.

She will shiver in the shadows!

She will step out of her cradle for the first time and she plummet.

She will taste gravel.

She will stand on the balance with you and look you straight in the eye.

She will learn the consequences of having a heartbeat.

She will enlighten herself with the enchiridion of mankind!

This virtue is too pristine to ignore

It is apart of the legislation in which considers you human!

Tomorrow,

She will learn humility.

This poem is about someone I know who is very egocentric right now. I wish that people will realized that no matter who you are, there a boundaries and ropes that you cannot escape. Learn to use your limitations wisely instead of pretending they don't exist.

A friend of mine has unfortunately developed an egocentric charisma which is vexing ... I just wrote about how I feel about the situation.
