What Have You Become?

I honestly look down on you
I seriously do pity the fool
With a shredded soul
And shrunken heart

You are so vain 
Have you no shame?
You're such a coward
Will you ever change?

You dance the same dance
You sing the same song
But things got even worse
And now you've sunken too far

Selfless thoughts and despair
Relunctant to become aware
Your surroundings are endless
You indulge in carelessness 

You are not humble nor kind
Not a single doubt in my mind
A lonely life you will most likely lead
Denied the chance to disperse your seed
