Matryoshka Doll
It all starts off well enough,
A tiny babushka over a painted face glowing with Pride.
So, pop the top and pull out the next.
Oh look, a snarl of Anger.
Pop: Leer of Desire.
Pop: Twist of Fear.
Pop: Tear of Grief,
Pop: Blank-faced Apathy.
Looks like we're getting down to it now.
Pop: Cringe of Guilt,
Pop: Wail of Despair.
Pop!
One tiny glittering nugget of Shame,
My precioussss.
Positive thinking has no power in this nested Hell,
Death, no blessing.
