The Narcissist

She pretended that she cared about her fellow man
We who really knew her well, knew better for sure.
Those who were fooled thought she was sweet and pure.
She could twist things around as only a narcissist can.

Excellent description of the narcissist, Caren. Too many people are fooled by them. They are angered with those who see them as they really are.

They get so upset when the truth is told
