the sting will hurt
but not forever,
may life be good to you ~

Hidden in a land beyond

I am an ego-maniac
With a self-esteem issue
They call me a braniac
But I really need a tissue.

Misconstrued

I encourage you,
to find meaning in it's depths;
to open a blind eye in fear;
and then to hold that moment dear.

I would hope for you to open-
a closed ear in times of desperation

and what is heard is misconstrued;
for truth cannot be seen,
