You Can Be a Psychopath

You can think you’re better though affection isn’t shown 
You never win approval from the people you have known 
But you still boast abilities and think how far you’ve grown 
with nobody around you as you’re always on your own 

You’ve never known what is to be liked or to be loved 
you only know what it is to be hateful with a grudge 
thinking you’re superior while all else are a mug 
only ever hearing your voice saying you’re above 

The punishment is you are you 
all your life in all you do 
seeing things as you need too
the punishment is you are you 

Born with a deficiency 
emotionless and misery 
humans are a mystery 
behaving very differently 

You don’t feel emotions that would make you feel alive
you just have a hollow hole where nothing lives inside 
people wish you hateful suffering before you die 
nobody you ever meet wants you within their life 

Wishing for approval that you will never get 
happy to behave a way that leaves the rest upset 
it’s the only reaction that you have ever met 
everyone who hurts you has no sorrow or regret 

While you think you’re big and bad 
others think you’re flipping sad 
always lippy always mad 
you’re a very tragic lad 

You think you are better than everyone you knew 
Everybody hating you 
You think you are clever though it is far from true 
the punishment is you are you
