Notes About The Poem

What one sows, one also reaps,
Since good records, Karma keeps!
~ Quote by Artsieladie ♥

Just Rewards

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.

Caren Krutsinger April 29, 2018 at 5:11 AM The whole poem is going to FAVS for me, but I especially liked: "You paint yourself untrustworthy with the antics that you pull. No one can take you seriously when you're just a load of bull." GREAT poem! Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly April 30, 2018 at 5:20 PM Thank you, Caren, for your fav'ing my poem and as always, your feedback. Ever feel the need that you just have to tell someone about themselves? lol Most times I bite my tongue but one's tongue can only take so much biting. Hope you have a great week. :) ~ Artsie

Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly April 28, 2018 at 7:47 PM Thank you, Ilene. I'm pretty positive he will, if he hasn't already. ;) I can't help but to also note that just above this area to reply in, where the captcha is for posting a comment, it spells "RAT" and the one who inspired this poem is all of that!
