Step one, buy a soft, fluffy, opaque, velvet ribbon
Secure it firmly around your beautiful desperate eyes
Make sure you can't see your failures and shortcomings
Your ugly personality, laziness or questionable morals
Step two, get a useless ugly pet and name it Ego!
Feed it twice, thrice, a million, a zillion times a day
Soon you'll accept what you are not, what you'll never be
You'll externalize & project your issues, you'll shutdown criticism!
Step three, follow the following fun & harmful DON'TS
Don't self-reflect, introspect, retrospect, self- observe
Don't accept uncomfortable feelings, truths, facts, anything
Bury them nicely with past pesky emotional wounds
Step four, learn to become a professional mental gymnast
Who accepts and bathes is beautiful comfortable lies,
Who only befriends other bubble building mental gymnasts,
Who misunderstands the temporary joy for everlasting truth,
For you Mr. leprechaun lover, here are some more resources
Resources to help you build a crumbly, wobbly self esteem -
Social media, media, movies, celebrities, ads and other lies
Toxic positivity, toxic self-acceptance, and spicy fact ignorance
All this at the cost of zero intellectual labor, zero common sense
Zero intelligence, zero true self acceptance; truly best deal ever!
Make excuses for yourself and others like a certified professional!
So my dear go on ahead, live life in your pretty bubble till it pops.
