Notes About The Poem

For Ink Empress's contest written March 9 2025

The Narcissistic Sun NO MORE

Son of a gun narcissistic 
With a personality pessimistic 
Everything resolves around you
Victor or victim that you bruise

When you look in silver mirror 
You can’t see because you fear me
My natural beauty that you deface
Graceful in defeat as you beat me again
And yet somehow I still WIN

I let you walk in my trap
Recorded it all and sent it zap
To the authorities for proof
No more abuse wear your cell
Meant for my mind on yours

I’m forgiving me for loving YOU
Parting ways is so sugary
I have reasons to enjoy life
No longer fearing empowered
I am a black flower blooming

I suppose the answer to your question, rhetorical or not, depends on one’s perception and the answers would vary! Thanks for liking it!

Loved the last line. There are people who are narcistic. They think only they exist.
