Narcissism

Narcissism arrives in any way..
Has many shapes and sizes..
Forms of narcissism floating in the environment

A Narcissistic one..
Dictates in the mind..
Of importance I solely am
Only I can sustain value..
Only I can indeed prosper
The Universe revolves around myself..
Others are not worthy of anything..
When it is I..
That bears all the fruits of life..
Why shall I embrace what others have to offer..
When there is no value fulifillment in anything they do..
I am above and beyond..
There is no living being above myself..

The reflection in the mirror shows my vanity in every aspects ..
On the whole I am all about myself..

Empathy for others is literally impossible
When empathy is only for myself..
There is no space for empathy to expand..
Empathy is one sided..
I feel for myself alone..

Togetherness is obsolete..
I refuse to allow myself to join hands and feel love for another..
The hands I join are of my hands alone..

Narcissism equals sadness..
The heart and soul bleeds..
Others have been exposed..
Effected by the selfishness of narcissism..
An ungrateful, opportunist arises 
Like a mist of smoke..
Lingering in the air..

Others clear the air..
Air of unwanted selfishness..
A newly mist of selflessness..
Clearly a smoke filled environment of love and compassion..

Love and compassion..
Dissolving is the key..
Dissolve selfishness..
Welcome selflessness
Welcome everlasting love..
