Boasting About Yourself
I’ve noticed that you talk about the things you do well
I listen as you boast of your ability and skill,
I can sense the pride and happiness it makes you feel
I’m aware if you don’t say it nobody else will
If you have to talk of these things when nobody has
your skills are unimportant or they’re skills you do not have
as blowing your own trumpet is a very desperate act
you must crave attention or acceptance you ain’t had
You do things the other people never choose to do
the skill that you require isn’t something we value
believing it is needed as the only path in view
and none of us have mastered this survival skill like you
You believe there’s always one correct option for all
and while you always pick that option others look a fool
when they all pick a different option they ain’t on the ball
as there brain ain’t like your brain, big while there’s is small
So you’re the only one placing value in your skill
and if you never talk about it nobody else will
the feeling that you’re better is a feeling very real
there’s nothing else inside as this belief is all you feel
You never do anything that others see as good
they do things the hard way and you don’t think you should
so they do things the wrong way always misunderstood
unaware that you do things the others never would
So believing you know better just makes you look a prat
what you are is lesser and that is but a fact,
craving some attention because you don’t get that
everything you do is selfish so we feel no impact
