Robert Sheridan - Softly

Conspicuous dominance
Virtue of simplicity
Duplicate to disambiguate
Mimicry a passion;
Relationships a tedious decadence
Communication unimaginative
Shallow faults detesting life
Being loved sometimes thoroughly;
Serviceable substitute called temptation
Ridicule mediocrities
I will wait for you all my life
A final mystery is my concession;
Moralize under all conditions
Become a dreamer by deceiving
Being normal a dead religion
Sincerity in a vile called poison;
Remaining friends an overestimated ability
Simplicity illusions pleasure
Work it out filed under Legal Separation
Immense inferiority someone else’s opinion.
