Narcissists

In the mirror's gaze, a beaming reflection found..
Ego's captive, their world forever bound.
A facade of grandeur, a charade of delights..
Narcissists embrace, their relentless fights.

Obsessed with self, a hollow soul resides..
Lost in vain pursuits, where empathy subsides.
To laugh or weep, never sees their need..
Trapped, they're blind to all, a prisoner of greed.
