What makes you so important all of a sudden?
You pretty little poseur, your words running like you ran so many months ago from everything you held dear... or so you told us.
You act so big and speak so small, tossing your hips like a pinup doll
Don't hold back, or if you do, don't announce it like a weakness lined in the same lipstick with which you trace your bones
Fragile boy, porcelain puppet, your actions don't move any more mountains than my pity
Makes you halt your stomping steps, deceptively fierce up and down this city
I've seen your vulnerability
I've seen your tears
I've seen your bones break and your empires fall
Step it up honey, you can't fool them all

You know, the general tenor of this post reminds me so much of Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone", which is a kind of scathing rant (although no one knows for sure who it's aimed at). Do you know that? If not, I recommend you extend your cultural reference points and check it out. It's regarded by some as the greatest popular song ever written.
So... you have a poetic bent, as well as those eyes.
