i have perfected the art of pretending i never sway in terms of pride.
my hubris is often admired,
my megalomania: an inspiration.
I hide the truth and appear to be this person, i tried.
sometimes i falter and my ego becomes a dried-up shriveled flower,
remnants remain of its power and beauty,
yet all you hear is the echos of what was lost.
scavengers tear at my insides, divine devour.
i want to give them a vague sense of hope that they can be confident,
my deceit comes from a place of tenderness.
ardent admiration for the ones whose flower is dust.
I plant the dead deep in the valley of my ribcage and i sow a soft smile onto my face, my own confidant.
