Poem
I know your deepest fear, what you dread the most, Still, your own desire you're preserving as a ghost. You're guided by your arrogance; on your ego you rely. Haven't you ever heard, the ego's known to lie? You play your silly mind games; you think you are so smart, But all this will ever get you is a sad and lonely heart. You paint yourself untrustworthy with the antics that you pull. No one can take you seriously when you're just a load of bull. You think you are invincible and well above reproach, But one as flawless as you, no one will dare approach! You pride yourself with cleverness, while appearing stupid. With so many attractive traits, there is no need for Cupid! With all your flawlessness, you need not ever apologise. One as perfect as you are, you're the apple of many eyes! But how has this worked for you on that pedestal you sit? Apparently not too well but you will never to, admit. The years are flying by and the time is drawing near. Sooner than you think, you'll have to face the fear That you dread so much without another chance To change your course of action and so, your circumstance. Soon you shall be old and you will be all alone With not one soul to Love you, except perhaps a crone To make your life as miserable as you have to others, done; To reap your Just Rewards, trapped in the web you have spun.
