Egotistical Grin
How you stand so nonchalant
When I’m the one who built this font
Doing everything which needs to be done
While you sit idle watching me run
A life I’ve made for our children and us
While you’ve focused on you, unable to discuss
You’ll regret your choices; incapable to go back
Our children have seen what you insufficiently lack
You chose a career over the ones who love you most
Our existence in your life; we’re merely a ghost
But we’re happy with your choice and pacified within
We saw the meaning of life through your egotistical grin
