Still Learning

A poem on admitting when you're wrong

By Gabriel HuizengaPublished 3 years ago • Updated 3 years ago • 1 min read

Friends hiking in Scotland - it somehow felt right for this poem! Something to do with being on a journey, perhaps...?

I am still learning

to be wrong;

To admit to myself that

it is not strong

To never need correction;

and to always already know,

(or claim it) is to have

nowhere left to go.

I am still learning that

humility takes time

that getting there takes

a rhythm and a rhyme.

I am still learning

to drop the know-it-all role

and to believe a bad day for the ego

is a good day for the soul.

Twas for love of words that I first joined this site:

For to live one's best is to read, and to write!
