You’re a good friend and a great liar Your confidence is a fickle ceasefire You give others the benefit of the doubt But you doubt yourself, inside and out You can dish it, but certainly can’t take it Mindlessly spitting words of wisdom, your latest smash hit Words that have weight for other people But never for you or your clan of Sheeple You’re a blind babbler, a social shambler Combatting the voice inside you This incessant, never ending mind chew It’s galloping through La-La Land Thought after thought to beat the band If you deserve the best, then why don’t you think you do? You wince at every word that comes out of your mouth. This journey that inevitably leads south You’re the envy of everyone else. Can’t you see? So confident, footloose and fancy free You have great willpower in the presence of your friends. On your own, you have none. Some things are easier said than done
