As gossips stare a colorless soul is bared
Never learned to share, never much cared
Such a pity, such a pain being so vain
Flawed behavior tarnishes transformation
Time to shelve the ego for hibernation

This is just too beautiful, and horrendously close to reality, at the same time….

This so prompted thoughts of Carly Simons line “You’re so vain, you probably thin this song is about you …” ^^ Excellent!

Yes I’m vain.
I look into my mirror and see me.
The way I think I am.
You look at me from the outside,
I pray to God you see my beauty shining from within.

Sounds rather like the psyche of reality TV stars: famous for being famous.

I have had this happen too. Not only on WP but other emails that I regularly receive end up in spam. Oh well.
