[hometext] => No one will help you if you don't help yourself.
[bodytext] => The crown you wear is a court jester hat
I extended an olive branch and in return you spat
Your hatred is a cellophane disguise
I am a friend, not a "fan", so please revise
Take it or leave it, our words always connect
I see in you a lifeless body that I want to resurrect
Being a narcissist is so passé,
Push your inflated ego out of the way
We are both lost in the jungle with no one to help
I came looking for a lion, but you let out a yelp.

I so love that line "Your hatred is a cellophane disguise". Excellent!
steals it for use at a later date hoping no one will notice
Sounds like this friend has some issues.... 'I am a friend, not a "fan" '
Egos die hard.
Hope this story ends well too.
Thank you my Scorpendous friend for another enjoyable read.

"Being a narcissist is so passé" we all need to hear this now and again!
"We are both lost in the jungle with no one to help
I came looking for a lion, but you let out a yelp."
I like what you're saying here, although it's tough to take sometimes even from a friend. You connect well here with this poem! Great voice!
Thanks!
Peace! |

I'm with Tim, the "cellophane disguise" line
really spoke to me. In fact this entire piece is
like a beacon, banging against the side of my
skull. I love the emotion that always swells
inside your poetry.
SO glad that you are back and writing like the
impossibly talented Scorpy I know. ^_^

Well there is certainly no disguising your talent for this form we call poetry.
Seems to be a guarantee that whatever you write distinguishes itself by the words you use and they way you thread them together.
This is certainly no throwaway poetry, yet again!!

| It's always interesting to reflect on those who have turned out to be less worthy then we have anticipated. I especially like how your ending of being disappointed and let down seems to not have suprised you. It's almost as if you knew all along , there was no lion , just a weak pathetic excuse instead. |

Amen and amen. this is well penned. ever in your scorpy style. I love how you make reference to hatred being just a disguise. we often don't look deep enough into another to see the front they putting up to protect themselves |
