Cream of Self-Esteem

Cream of Self-Esteem
9 June 2014

The old uptight me
Is now loose and free,
The way it ought to be.
After years of agony
I've broken from tyranny.

The tyranny of group think
That was way out of sync
So I felt like a rat fink
And brought me to the brink
Of almost no more pen and ink.

Pen and ink let me fully express
My inner self with success,
Without having to repress,
Confess or be a mess.
It's been a long process.

A process of listening and reading,
Uploading new ways of thinking.
By baby steps proceeding,
Getting results, not misleading,
Old ways gradually receding.

Allegory Story

The accuser

Of the abuser

Was a loser

Whose blues

Was a ruse

To make the news.

Don’t confuse

Outward success

And public address

With inner mess.

Celebrity tabloids

Are full of factoids

And celluloids

About a star’s erosion

And career corrosion

With an implosion,

Who’s standing halts

When behavior results

From character faults.
