No Longer Inferior |

No Longer Inferior

It isn’t even a question of how far I have come
Sublimating doubt, absorbing so much more than required of me
Still former life debts would not be forgotten . . .

I culled a path out from the mass, not to your customary liking
And I’ve been estranged ever since
As fate would have it, I’d be outcast
Though far from fair, I was brushed off as just another nobody
I pushed through the hurt
‘Till I learned to reject it

I’m doing all I can to guard against latent narcissistic tendencies
But it’s so hard considering I have long been a sucker for your guilt-tripping
I’m doing all I can not to let you make me feel ill at ease when smiling
And you’re so wrong not to consider how long I’ve been depressed, stuck, & offsetting

You don’t even come close to knowing who I authentically am, but yes
Your unceremoniously projected bullshit can make its way into my subconscious
How else would you enjoy your bullying & cheapening of me?
How else would I fuel my obdurate urge to keep them all at fault?
Yet invariably, they’re always wrong
They’re all so wrong
I’ll prove them wrong
Why are they always wrong?

I’m doing all I can to guard against latent narcissistic tendencies
But it’s so hard considering I have long been a sucker for your guilt-tripping
I’m doing all I can not to let you make me feel ill at ease when smiling
And you’re so wrong not to consider how long I’ve been depressed, stuck, & offsetting

No longer worthless as you once made me feel
Tell me you’re sorry
Retract all you want
But I won’t be back again…

I’m doing all I can to guard against latent narcissistic tendencies
But it’s so hard considering I have long been a sucker for your guilt-tripping
I’m doing all I can not to let you make me feel ill at ease when smiling
And you’re so wrong not to consider how long I’ve been depressed, stuck, & offsetting

You’re so wrong
You’re so wrong
You’re so wrong
You’re so wrong
