Narcissist

clay mask cracks,
     falls way;
          janus-faced!
                                          self-absorbed;
                                     your skin, so
                                wafer-thinned.
impostor
     syndrome quite
          off the charts.
                                           arrogance
                                      knows no bounds;
                                 entitled.
so in love
     with your own
          reflection.
                                             delusions
                                        of grandeur,
                                   pathetic.
it kills you
     deep inside
          given the...
                                             cold shoulder
                                        as you crave
                                   attention,
and you're no
     God's gift to
           human race!
