Mentor

He was a man of principles,
He differentiated wrong from right.
Believed in his ideals, so very staunch.
A mentor to many.
He was a Hypocrit. He believed in Stigma.
He had the exposure and the experience
Still denied himself the visibility.
Lacked the ability to convert himself from judgemental to perceiving.
He had layers down so deep.
But a shield that guarded and armoured his Ego.
Even if stirred a little, it agitated beyond repair.
Turbulent.
Was hypocrisy innate with his being
Or was it planted by mere insecurity?
He feared defeat thus dreaded competition.
He wondered if he could conquer the set standard.
The set standard was his make belief.
The make belief were his principles.
A veil to his insecurity!
He was respected by society, shunned by his soul
And thus undoubtedly a mentor to many.
