tale to tale

I am a self-saboteur
I’ve known it for a while,
But what good is being aware
If you only look at it and smile.
A killer of hopes,
A delayer of dreams,
This screwed on guy
Isn’t quite what he seems.
There’s a cap on creativity,
A limit on longevity,
But when push comes to shove –
I’m flying the flag for self-love.
