Psychopath

I'm not prone to violence,
but I have no conscience.
I'm aware of happiness, sadness and every emotion.
I just lack the ability to feel any of them.
Every smile and tear I display I always fake.
I con others to get what I want. I manipulate
without remorse or any other emotional contrast.
I have been diagnosed a psychopath.

You describe the psychopath to a T. Well done, Silly Billy. :)

Hmmm, Interesting comment Catherine. My analysis; You accept things at face value without investigation, are easily led and would be a prime target of manipulation from a psychopath. I say this however under the assumption that you have jumped to the conclusion that my poem is me confessing to being a psychopath, when in reality I am simply defining what a psychopath is so that others can be made aware of such people. Rick on the other hand seems to get it.

Also, I couldn't help but notice that unlike the average psychopath that you DO appear to be prone to violence. Have you by any chance been a victim of such people? It would certainly explain volumes regarding your unfounded hostility.
