The Perfect Narcissus:
Popular boy
You tend to forget who got you there
You tend to look back and yet see nothing but yourself
You tend to throw your name around for the amusement
But you’ve seem to lose your way easily when I’m not there to protect you
Childish boy
You seem to have lost who you are over the years
You seemed to have walked a thin line between hate and love
You seemed to be haunted by your steps to manhood
You seemed to want to walk over water but yet drown each time
But your blindness had wrapped your ego to protect it from yourself
Ego boy
You tell the tales of who you are and what you have become
You triumph on what vast solitude you are not prepared to shelter
You turn to your inter self for rest from your playful mind
You think you have grown into greatness and purity above all else
But you’ve punished yourself by closing your bruised ego off from others
Sentenced boy
You’ve locked yourself off from who you could have become
You’ve turn up the volume to shut off the voice in your head
You’ve ran from the blame you hold for yourself
You’ve worked yourself into a cruel understanding that the world owes you
But you don’t fare well with the life served sentence you have placed before yourself
