Where Pride Ends
Where pride fades and humility finds its true place.
If you ever feel so proud and high,
Like youβre better than the world nearby,
Take a walk where the tombstones stand,
And feel the quiet, like a gentle hand.
.
Beneath the ground, the great ones lie,
Kings and wise men, who couldnβt deny,
That no matter how strong they became,
Time took them all, with no one to blame.
.
The graveyard speaks in whispers low,
Saying, βOne day, youβll be here below.β
No matter your pride, no matter your fame,
In the end, weβre all part of the same.
.
So if you feel like youβre on top,
Remember, pride can make you stop.
Stay kind, stay humble, and do your best,
For in the end, we all find rest.
.
In the silence, we learn so clear,
That pride fades, but love stays near.
So walk with grace, with no need to boast,
For we all become just a quiet ghost.

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"

I love this! Itβs so easy to get caught up in pride, but weβre all just passing through. Staying humble and kind seems like the best way to go.
Beautiful and relatable!
Very deep and poignant. Well done, Hinata!

Memento quod tu quoque morieris.
This is beautifully humbling! The imagery of the graveyard as a silent teacher is profound, and the gentle reminder to stay kind and grounded hits perfectly. It flows with a timeless wisdom that lingers long after reading. Poignant and heartfelt!
It's a thoughtful and meaningful reflection on what truly matters in life. This poem beautifully captures the essence of humility and the fleeting nature of human life.
