No Ego Involved Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I think I will approach my 'main' interests,
A little bit differently.

'How's that? '

I am going to pretend, publicly...
I have a wish to do one thing,
But sacrifice my time and efforts...
Doing what I love which no one suspects.
And achieve secretly,
Tremendous success.

'That will never happen.'

Why not?

'Because that kind of success,
For you...
Has not happened yet.'

Oh?
I did say 'secretly'.
And secrets revealed slowly to uncover,
Are the best ones to discover.

'You think so, huh?
And how is that? '

By words.
Words expressed,
Coming out of the mouths of others.
Disappointed by the lack of bragging attached.

'And IF that should happen,
That is the best kind of success to achieve.'

I know.
There is no ego involved to detect.
