Narcissist

It was in my younger years That you took away my heart Just looking for a conquest You tore it all part You. put yourself so far above me No mercy to be found Playing as the victim Finding joy in putting me down You reveled in the glory Tried to make me feel the shame Playing oh so righteous While using me to blame The innocence that you portrayed The lies, the undertone Well baby take a look at me now I’m standing on my own I’ll never hold ill feelings But my bridges will be burned Chalking up the time I’ve wasted To experience and lessons learned You’re the one who started the fire Searching for a moment of fame Now you’ve become the lost one And I’ve become the flame. While you set out alone Keep your eyes on that blue sky My wings have been released And now I’m going to fly There will come a time when you look back And contemplate the cost Just know that my star will be shining Because you’re the one who lost. I will dance and I will sing I’ll mount that horse and ride I can walk through the fires of hell Without you by my side.

This is such a powerful write. I absolutely love it. And yes narcissists they love playing victim and the best revenge for such abuse and pain they inflict is “I will dance and I will sing I’ll mount that horse and ride I can walk through the fires of hell Without you by my side.” Moving on gracefully not allowing their actions to destroy us. I absolutely loved reading this. Definitely a fave for me
