Too Proud To Beg?
by SELASIE BULMUO
I can see you trying
Doing it tough all the way.
Going through the motions
Just one of many in the daily drudge
Your trail is lacking real passion
The kind that sets true winners apart
You question why you’re so fed up
Tired of feeling like a mouse in the rat race
But plod on you must
It is the only way you know
So commendable, such commitment
You’re determined to go all the way
Until your strength is all gone
There could be another way, you know.
It’s not too late to find that way
Some things are easier done
When we humbly ask for help
So please just drop the act
It’s really not worth your while at all
There are tell tale signs
The pressure is getting to you
Your life is worth much more
Than simply living to impress
Take a moment or two to simply be
Maybe a fresh start will appeal to you
New directions can open up too
Just humble yourself
And seek some help
Your happiness can be secured
When you just accept you need some help
You will still be you
Nothing lost except some pride
But only if you’re not too proud to beg
Find some giants who have done so
Learn from them, they’ve paid their dues
And proved their worth, making giant strides
Climb up their shoulders and find your way
Accept their help and start from scratch
Move on steadily up in your true calling
Otherwise you’ll still be plodding on
With no reprieves, no breakthroughs
A team of one is real hardwork
So why be mediocre, when gifted ones abound
You will soon find that you’re one of them
No more rat race, if you’ll just defect
Join the humble crew, it takes courage too
I am definitely not too proud to beg
I wonder if you just still might be
Words that definately ring true! When it is all said and done, who was the rat race run for? If you are not able to take the time to share with the people who are near and dear because you are bagged from the day/week/month/year, then why kill yourself? Ask for the help. Knowing your background Selasie, tells me that the guidance from the Lord is where you should start. For those who are not in that place, you need to find the mentor/guide/sounding board that will help you through this before you meet an early grave. Remeber that stress kills.
Thank you Selasie for the reminder to me as well.
Hello Liz,
How are you? Yes I agree with you. No need to kill ourselves when we can ask for help. Finding the humility to ask for help, now that is the challenge. We will rather get hopelessly lost than stop to ask for directions. I am learning everday that my way may not always be the best way. Sometimes i just need to accept that and simply ask for help. Thank you for the lovely and indepth comment. I love it. I am definitely working on getting more guidance from the Lord. Thank you Liz.
