The only real passion you held

Was your own self-admiration

Seeing success in materialism

Gaines off other’s misfortunes

You despised anyone- different

Who offered commoners help

Or gave away valuable advise

Entirely secured in themselves

It made you colder and cunning

Relationships were but punitive

Praise was your drug of choice

You loved the taste of revenge

Yet, you go to bed humiliated

Incapable of being …charitable

I'm the aberrational poet your English teacher warned you not to read or follow into the literary abyss. If you steal my poetry...I will find you in between fogyish metaphoric lines. I'll be armed with my quill and papyrus where at will I can wield my power as a writer to erase you from my realm. I will smudge you with inky darkness and do unprintable things like a ghost in imaginary darkness. In full disclosure, I am absurdly mad and take no responsibility for my actions if crossed poetically. But, otherwise, I’m a simple free spirited poetic writer wordsmithing outside the grammatical lines and rules. An easy going romantic rebel at heart. I write meaningful (to me) poetry from my heart and share it here. I tend to approach everyone as a friend until they demonstrate something different. I enjoy having creative exchanges with others, like-minded artists, or writers. Thank you for reading, commenting and your visit. I appreciate all the feedback (good or bad) you care to offer. Feel free to reach out by email for private exchanges if you wish. View all posts by Poet of the Light

Such a portrait of the life of one filled with self, and yet remains empty. Love the way your writing paints a picture so clearly! Stay Strong and Be Blessed.

Narcissists are impossible to be in a relationship with for this exact reason. This is a perfect description of a relationship with a narcissist.
