Analysis of self absorbed
Self absorbed,
Seeing the world through the a shattered glass,
Glass obscuring the picture,
Picture of the true hue brightness,
Brightness that you tried to define,
Define something but failed,
Failed to get the true message across,
Across the storms and fog,
Fog that has blurred your vision,
Vision for so long,
Long that is becomes ancient,
Ancient like a tomb,
Tomb of the heart,
Heart of your self absorbed disguise,
Disguise to be scared of showing true you,
You that only the sweetest will see,
See past your disguise and the,
The obscured vision of being you,
You, in all it's complexities,
Complexities, only few can understand,
Understand, relate to and give,
Give, definition to your beautiful,
Self obscured absorbed person.
