Finding Humility

…a poor self-image keeps us in bondage to self and thus makes it impossible for us to find true humility. ~ The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of Overeaters Anonymous (Kindle Location 718).

Thinking myself useless, ugly, a failure
can’t make me humble?
How much humble can a body be?
But humble doesn’t mean humiliated,
and that state clashes right well
with humility, so if humble I’m to be
I have to come to have some respect
for who it is God made when I appeared.
