The Narcissist

The vacuous state of inner being Void of self awareness seeing Who am I conceived in deceit A false projection of myself to meet A look within my fears do writhe Anxiety stings demanding its lies A chasm, a hunger, a need to feed Oh source, Oh target, I feast while you bleed From your essence I delight and devour Fractured and broken, you're now in my power From you I've taken your very soul From you I've taken for myself to be whole After you've given all that you are Your soul is crumpled and tossed afar I laugh at and mock you for caring so much I praise my oblivion and destructive touch Triumphant ruin of lives that I smite Behold the narcissist, ultimate parasite

Very dark and I get a sense of dominance. The narcissist thrives on egoism and you have shown that well here Jim

Thanks for reading my poem Tim. Yours too are a feeling. It's what I look for as I read. How it changes my feeling.
