Everytime you open your mouth<\/p>\n
It’s “me” “my” and “I”<\/p>\n
“I do everything and better than everyone”<\/p>\n
That’s a lie<\/p>\n
“If it wasn’t for ME”<\/p>\n
Who gives a fuck!<\/p>\n
“Look, I figured it out first”<\/p>\n
Beginner’s luck<\/p>\n
“Me against the world”<\/p>\n
Tupac’s line<\/p>\n
“Me at the center of the world”<\/p>\n
Your frame of mind<\/p>\n
“I’m smart they’re dummies”<\/p>\n
Here we go<\/p>\n
What’s today’s principal contradiction<\/p>\n
“Umm, I don’t know”<\/p>\n
Like a spoiled assed child<\/p>\n
You whine and nag<\/p>\n
With every small achievement<\/p>\n
You gotta brag<\/p>\n
No matter how much attention<\/p>\n
You receive<\/p>\n
It’s never the support<\/p>\n
That you need<\/p>\n
You think you’ve got<\/p>\n
It all figured out<\/p>\n
But the wrong things<\/p>\n
Always fall out your mouth<\/p>\n
Who the hell would want<\/p>\n
To share your home<\/p>\n
You’re miserable needy<\/p>\n
No wonder you’re alone<\/p>\n
You feel entitled<\/p>\n
To poke your nose everywhere<\/p>\n
How others feel about it<\/p>\n
You don’t care<\/p>\n
Your grievous wrongs<\/p>\n
Others should just forget<\/p>\n
But for honest errors<\/p>\n
You’ve reduced many names to shit<\/p>\n
Smug self-centered<\/p>\n
An understatement<\/p>\n
More like narcissistic<\/p>\n
One can’t overstate it<\/p>\n
An introvert<\/p>\n
Says it all<\/p>\n
Others really don’t matter<\/p>\n
In your world at all<\/p>\n
Except those that cater<\/p>\n
To your whims<\/p>\n
Sorry, but I can’t be<\/p>\n
One of them<\/p>\n
You almost had me<\/p>\n
My empathy runs deep<\/p>\n
You tug on heartstrings<\/p>\n
Even made me weep<\/p>\n
You manipulate<\/p>\n
Play on other’s senses of guilt<\/p>\n
Cause the strongest<\/p>\n
Affections to wither and wilt<\/p>\n
Your own ordeals<\/p>\n
You prioritize<\/p>\n
The next person’s losses<\/p>\n
Trivial in your eyes<\/p>\n
No one’s suffering compares<\/p>\n
To what you’ve endured<\/p>\n
And you’re the only one<\/p>\n
Whose heart is pure<\/p>\n
Everyone else<\/p>\n
Has some sinister design<\/p>\n
You’re the most righteous of all<\/p>\n
In your own mind<\/p>\n
If it wasn’t for you<\/p>\n
The sun wouldn’t rise<\/p>\n
Megalomania<\/p>\n
Believing grandiose lies<\/p>\n
About your own greatness<\/p>\n
Who can compare?<\/p>\n
“I look so…”<\/p>\n
I won’t even go there<\/p>\n
You insult others at will<\/p>\n
They shouldn’t be fazed<\/p>\n
But you become demoralized<\/p>\n
The moment you’re not praised<\/p>\n
Which brings me<\/p>\n
To another quirk<\/p>\n
Seeking praise motivates<\/p>\n
Your social work<\/p>\n
When you don’t get it<\/p>\n
You threaten to quit<\/p>\n
Or get on some passive aggressive shit<\/p>\n
Identity politics<\/p>\n
Me my and I<\/p>\n
It’s your class conditioning<\/p>\n
That typifies<\/p>\n
Your individualistic thinking<\/p>\n
How you’ve evolved<\/p>\n
Everything’s a competition<\/p>\n
When you’re involved<\/p>\n
Working class unity<\/p>\n
You just don’t get<\/p>\n
At the helm of things<\/p>\n
Where you must sit<\/p>\n
Sure you’ve done much good<\/p>\n
But that’s not the point<\/p>\n
Of me writing THIS<\/p>\n
particular joint<\/p>\n
Nor is the purpose<\/p>\n
To injure feelings<\/p>\n
But show why and how<\/p>\n
You could use some healing<\/p>\n
So maybe along the way<\/p>\n
You will find<\/p>\n
Courage to cure your<\/p>\n
Bourgeois state of mind<\/p>\n
It’s the opposite of that<\/p>\n
Me-centered world where you hide<\/p>\n
Join the people<\/p>\n
And commit class suicide!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
