I don't like looking straight at me
The me the whole world wants to see
Raw emotion, gilded gain
A wreath of mediocre pain
Happy in my ever after
Clinging on to sweet disaster
Indecisive, spent delay
Negative in funny ways
Actions playing games with thought
Behind a lens for vision's sought
Unable to defeat addiction
Hung upon my crucifixion
Don't underestimate that click
However lengthy, poised or slick
The mind's eye loses battle to
Those carbon layers of you-know-who........

Hi Lena, here via Magpie Tales (just catching up too!) ..enjoyed reading your rhymes and the playfulness of words. Well done. Look forward to reading more.
Clever as ever with your rhyming. :)
I especially like the first two stanzas, there's just no better description than "mediocre pain."
Delightful...welcome back to Magpie! You've been missed!
Very cute, Helena. I share your thoughts!
Love that my Helen twin is back .. rhyming better than ever. Also enjoyed the selfie poem!
