Spot a Narcissist

Narcissist is a word you learn
discover these people at every turn 
Self involved and lacking concern 
you’re the bridge they are the burn 

Think themselves more important 
skills they have dead or dormant 
Talk of things they can but can’t 
Appearing adult but are an infant

Will blame and never admit wrong 
again and again this will go on 
think the top's where they belong 
as though so great as though so strong 

They lack wise and they lack wisdom
but they think they have the most 
they tell lies with dumb actions
Intelligence present as though a ghost 

They play sly games of the mentally ill 
behind the backs they slay away 
they truly believe that slander’s skill 
unkind crap they yap all day 

In short they are bitter, 
weak and without honour 
caught thinking they’re fitter 
better and stronger 

Parents are the ones to blame 
It’s discipline not the growth of brain
need to realise they're not the be all 
sit, tell harsh truth so they see more
