Calm Sea
  • Imran Tabet

A call to humility.

I'm not interested in the amount of money you have,

nor am I interested in the straightness of your teeth.


I don't care if you work for a famous company,

nor do I care about the eloquence of your speech.


I'm not impressed by your impeccable reputation,

nor am I impressed by the softness of your skin.


I don't like you more because you're successful,

nor do I like you more because you're attractive.


I'm interested in the things you've done to help others,

and I'm interested in what makes you smile like a kid.


I care about the kindness with which you treat strangers,

and I care about those wounds you so loyally carry inside.


I'm impressed by the courage you display when you're honest,

and I'm impressed by your tolerance for the mistakes of others.


I like you because of your humility and your decency,

and I like you because you really see me for who I am.
