A Person With An Inferiority Complex

Your pendulum swinging
Extreme to the next
"Don't you think I'm awesome, and superior and intelligent and witty?"
Is what you try to say
"Don't you just love having me around?"
Behind closed doors you drink
And lose to the demons of sorrow

If you stuck your head in a bottle
Maybe the alcohol could speak louder
Than the gushing, arse kissing cries you utter
But in front of the crew
Well in front of others you think you're so great
Don't you know that you've been caught?
The sweetness and light act fools no one, least of all your boss
You're gonna have to answer for your sins
Shame you're so mediocre at best.

"I'm sorry, who are you again?"
"Oh, that's right, you're that simp nobody- least that's what I make You think I think".
"And you, lucky you, have been so graced with my presence".
"Such a great thing I am really, and you would be grateful to listen
To all my "stories" of grandeur".
"The many accomplishments I have in my head"
"I have dreamt my way around the world you know"
"I use a pen, I don't erase!"

"I have a voracious and extensive vocabulary"
"You should be like me"
"You should be like me"
"You should think like me"
"If you can't handle me, drop dead".
"I treat people like dirt that I can't agree with, so kiss my arse"
"By now, can't you see I'm lying?"
"Little do I know that my "attitude" will be my downfall, but I don't Care as long as I get to hurt you".
"Do me a favor and knock me off of this pedestal before I go insane".

About this poem:
Dealing with a person who has an inferiority complex. Not an easy thing as they tend to be so negative that they suck the sun right out of the sky.Being acquainted with such a person who is an employee (He's going to be looking for another job because of his attitude and behavior towards the other wranglers. I hate to do it, but I have to think of their well-being first).The "stories" he tells are unreal. Putting into words their attitude towards life and how they treat others. It's not a good thing.
