The Narcissist

You’re pathetic not athletic academic more dyslexic in a daydream build your ego the vulnerability will grow you protect it become septic isolation you’re rejected a narcissist that won’t accept it making up all they’ve projected It’s because you’ve failed so much won’t accept you’re out of touch not the life you thought you’d live what you get is what you give too lazy to make the effort getting nothing getting desperate find a skill that you’ve perfected the competition undetected self applause and giving praise thinking everyone’s amazed keep on smoking cannabis in reality your skill’s a miss only you think it exists in your head with all the bliss you think you’re a real good mate when you’re the opposite of great expecting favours not returned receiving all the love you’ve earned now you feel you’re hard done by play the victim spread the lie actions speak louder than words you have been abandoned first but you try to explain why tell the world their head ain’t right like you’re God’s most perfect work the fact is you’re a selfish jerk you got what you never gave the selfishness that you displayed confused when people walk away their actions beat the words you say you believe what you say is true who cares when it’s all about you
