False

eating away
at my guilt

my deranged ego
is a monster
I no longer want

I dislike
being
in the centre

having
all those people
stare

some even
pretend
to care

I want to
close
the curtains
and take
a shower
in my own
much needed
privacy

the dis-ease you express so well. And while it can be quite chuffy to be acknowledged, don't understand those who crave it, even sacrificing principals to achieve it, eeeew cheers, Jess
