Moon in Virgo opposition Chiron
Sometimes it hurts us to discover
that picture perfect image of ourselves –
the one upon which others did so sweetly lavish flattery and praise
can be so easily shattered with the nuance of a single misplaced word
to feel the shameful pain of narcissistic wounds
to silently, internally implode with shame
to think that we might not be who we thought we were
and yet this loss of cherished pleasure now
need, after all, not be the loss of our true happiness at all
for true perfection is in the existence
and never mind the pride that always comes before the fall.
