humbled pretention

by Nicole M. - Gemini

humbled pretention 
  is a poisoned cure
sponges bast themselves
  in self obsessions
  they will tell you
saudered fabrications
   of the tempered perceptions
fear consuming their perfect
             procedures
  paranoid
their innate confidence
has fermented into
   arrogance
so they dye it
   in denial
to keep honesty at bay
They forget words
     they never thought of
 and soak in 
their triumphs at
   fine tuning
their flawed 
     perfection
