Icon of the self indulgent

Standing at the pinacle of self indulgence
Your personal truths lie compromised
In a haze of lies to yourself and others.
Desperate for acceptance and love
You lose yourself in the change you exact upon yourself.
Never believing in your true value …tearing your identity apart
to suit the common palate.
Wine turns to water and exclusions turn to lies..

Your hardest lessons are ahead of you…
But the self indulgence restricts your vision…
You will lose everything…

Gaining it back …thats another poem.
