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
