When I've written something deep; When I really want your attention; And I need you to read it with emotion, With my feelings and my voice; And I'm hoping you get my meaning, Because I think you need help, I use asterisks. Asterisks. Ever look closely at an asterisk? Draw one. Enlarge it on your screen. Notice any resemblance to anything you own, Anyone you know? It looks like the *Selfie of an *******.
