Are my verses poetic or truthful of all of us?

Question

Don’t put me on a pedestal

You’ll see my feet are of clay

So keep me at eye level,

And all is well today

Don’t expect too much from me,

There’s less than meets the eye,

So shield your eyes and you’ll not see

The chicanery, the deceit, the lie

Answer 1

A poem trying to be deep and complex, describing a person who wishes to be seen as simple.

Nice...

Another forty years of experience and you'll be a genuine Samuel Taylor Coleridge!
