The It Factor

All Eyes on You

By Andrew SchraderPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Is it just you who’s forgotten it

That will we all have, the fight you lack

Where can you find it again, your wit

I wonder how you can get it back

This indolence you always emit

You question why you get so much flak

And then you feel like you’re a misfit

But you can’t handle such an attack

The confidence that you may admit

But old feelings you’re scared to unpack

Guilt takes its ever circling orbit

Nothing uttered, but one more wisecrack

Lies shield you like an armored outfit

Slowly, your heart is dyed a deep black

Your veins drenched in sludge from a tar pit

You are a megalomaniac
