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.
