There you go again, struttin\u2019, braggin\u2019, hypin\u2019 yourself\nagain,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crisping in your ego jacuzzi, self-love taken to extremes,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Flexin\u2019 \u2018bout your life\u2019s achievements like they\u2019re the\nstuff of myths and legends,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Convince yourself every morning that you\u2019re the alpha,\nstill, among fellow humans,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keeping an eye out, too, on the others like an enemy sniper,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your level of hustle dictated, seemingly, by peers\u2019 everyday\nmovements, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Donning on that costume when in a face-to-face environment,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chest proud, shoulders back, eyes up, simple tells you\u2019d\nrehearsed over and over,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Selling yourself as a chess master, always several steps\nahead,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They ought to tremble at the inventory of worlds that you\u2019d\nconquered,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joke\u2019s on you, though, as you\u2019ll realise sooner or later,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get your head from out the clouds and peep at the outliers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ones lurking in the shadows away from the population,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Folks like you call \u2018em scared and tentative, silenced by\nintimidation,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019re dead wrong for believing they\u2019re scared to compete\nwith others,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not all waste time searching for new people to one-up and\nget one over,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some prefer to compete only with the individual within the\nmirror,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To overcome obstacles no bigger than whom they were just\ndays and weeks before,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No need to feel threatened by the achievements of others,\nsuch a mindset is reserved for fools and suckers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You liken yourself to a warrior, one to be feared, envied\nand admired,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hate to say it but they see through the bullshit, you\u2019re\njust a weenie drowning in insecurities,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Enslaved yourself to your peers, most of whom are just\nminding their own business,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Letting \u2018em live inside your head, rent-free, talk about a\nwretched existence, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think about that the next time you prance and preen,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Relying on others to measure yourself against, the rewards\nare limited indeed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
