They Only See The Flaws.

In the end


that's what they see.


Despite what


you drape over


the gape,


the subterfuge


of your act


as transparent


as any hack.


And any fool knows


that behind that facade,


that grand and ornate door


lies that sneering, and smirking


flaw.

Perhaps it is because they try to explain their own flaws by looking at ours eh?
