Enter
And feed this ego with attention
Served on a platinum platter

See it gobble up the compliments
Dependence of acceptance

Its hunger is actually insecurity
Its napkin has the words "I know" embroidered on it

Now watch it choke on one single critique
Its eyes tear up and the face turns blue

One small criticism has brought x's into the eyes of this ego
What a pity
