Narcissism

I close my eyes and listen to you;

Oh, treacherous voice inside my head.

You whisper things, unfaithful; untrue

I snap my fingers and smile instead.




I tell you that everything I lack

Erased once my wings flapped.

But you pierce the wings right to my back,

To let me know that I am trapped.



Its hard to defeat you, that I know,

But I'll try my best every day.

You'll never fade my luminous glow -

No matter what you say.



I'll overcome your vulgar lips

Which spit thorns into my beating muscle.

I'll endure the storms that shake my ships

And win this fight without the scuffle.
