The Narcissist

There was a time when my eyes read nothing but hate I couldn't empathize, realize or even relate It was me, myself and I and couldn't even cry I was all about self, and the rest could go die If you tried to talk, I'd just slide and walk Then i'd laugh and mock, my heart was locked When you feel deceived and made a fool by your peers Its easy to stash away all the pain and the tears Hard headed becomes embedded, if I said it, I meant it Sinned against God and Humanity, never once repented I felt every step improved my rep by the day And I prepped my responses to any words they might say I steeped in the rage, till I was black to the core Till suddenly I realized..... I DON'T EVEN LIKE ME ANYMORE.

This is a brilliant write, Grandad. I don't know if you are talking about yourself but it is truthful about how we can self- distruct.
