In Baubles, Allure

Born in the heart of the insecure
    of him who finds in baubles allure

  A grave affliction, difficult to cure
    Consumed by Jealousy, one must abjure

Good depth of thought there, Gershon.

There's much wisdom in this fine Monorhyme, Gershon. A picture of me in my youth and early adulthood. It was saddening as I became aware that my need to please everyone was because of my insecurity with my own worth, but a joy to be set free and able to become who I was meant to be. Thanks for sharing my friend. Bill

Terrible way of being ego is the culprit and narccisim too. Thanks for sharing my friend...

We are born winners when just being ourselves. Nothing else needed. Profound write!
