The Flawed Genius

A flawed genius is what you are,

You left many a scar,

You got so caught up in the hysteria of ascending the ladder,

That you made yourself madder,

From the carefree college boy,

Who was filled with so much joy,

Where did that boy go,

The one who just wanted to go with the flow,

As the mother of your child,

I worry your son will be just as wild,

But hopefully, just the right amount,

To make his life count,

The maniacy you displayed at work,

Hand in hand with questionable corporate sharks,

Made you lose your soul, 

Your body merely followed you, into that black hole,

I always told you, you weren't indispensable,

But you weren't sensible,

To hear me out,

Instead, you filled my head with self doubt,

Questioned my decisions,

And made no provisions,

To change the way you lived,

Living out of suitcases and 7 star properties, 5 days a week, was no way to live,

You deprived yourself of a well balanced life,

Trying to fulfill corporate goals that costed you, your invaluable life.
