By: Cedric McClester Narcissus had a cartharsis When playing on stage with his band With all due respect he was a beautiful wreck ‘Cos you never knew where he would land Sadly his affliction was ****** addiction That eventually got out of hand Which despite his gift caused a riff With the members of his band Call him Narcissus Or even Cobain The flip side of euphoria Often is pain Which sometimes can lead To one’s self-distain Or an act of suicide If it must be explained Narcissus could be capricious You never knew what to expect And he could engage people from a stage By challenging their intellect Making them take the plunge into grunge ‘Cos he was the architect He’d play for hours on end When he became circumspect Call him Narcissus Or even Cobain The flip side of euphoria Often is pain Which sometimes can lead To one’s self-distain Or an act of suicide If it must be explained Despite having a child And also a wife He had a certain distain For his own life Success cut his insides Just like a knife To the point where he decided To take his own life Narcissus was self-pernicious As a consequence of his deep depression So he took a ride on the wild side Which also should serve as a lesson Don’t take what you have for granted Your gifts might well be your blessin’ And that is the lesson my friend In the end this poem is addressin’ Call him Narcissus Or even Cobain The flip side of euphoria Often is pain Which sometimes can lead To one’s self-distain Or an act of suicide If it must be explained (c) Copyright 2015, Cedric McClester.
