SVPERBIA
mirror shatters
into thousand pieces
of my perfection,
tread on me
bare feet
let each piece
cut deep into your skin
i’ll taste your pain
and drink myself
into a stupor
on your bad blood.
trip on my worth
fall on your knees
take a better look
at my high standing
from where you
crawl your ground
in agony and
lose your grip
on my vanity.
open your eyes,
self-righteousness
never blind me
even in the brightest truth
and the darkest side of me
i still can see
that your low quality
and inferiority
are the triggers
to an extension
of my dark,
you can never see
that i’m right.
flawless sinner, fucking peasant.
