Narcissistic Mother Sydrome
Remember winning sporting medals
Taught in life sport gets you nowhere
Forget what I’d done to win those medals
Good for nothing and going nowhere
That’s the lesson taught by my mum
She’s either evil or very dumb
I became exactly who I would become
Unsuccessful without confidence
Narcissistic mother syndrome
Psychologically beaten numb
Belittling medals I have won
All my life since I was young
It made sure I refused success
Never thought to progress
Underachiever and depressed
Be no more only less
Even though I only played for teams
Who won their cups and won their leagues
I was blind to success I couldn’t see
Now I do and I always believe
If I apply I’ll better me
Becoming more than I could be
And she will still belittle me
But I don’t care what she sees
