Written 2019-07-31

Who died and made you god?

You make me crack up

Such an attention-seeker,

still desperate to be heard

asking for worshippers

Some may have been

fools to let you win

nothing to gain

Oh, you’re so vain

If you’re that great,

then why such persistence?

It’s just your stubbornness

A real life, modern-day Narcissus

No mirrors are enough

Thanks to you, they’re all in pieces

while your brain is full of false beliefs

that you’re oh-so-flawless.

Come on,

I need a better comedy

much funnier than this

lame effort of yours

just to impress me.
