Now I finally understand
❀
I was searching for friendship
While you were seeking victims
I was aiming for improvement
As you were trying to convince me
You had no need to change
I was giving you your hundredth chance
When you told me I didn’t
Deserve a second one
❀
Now I finally understand
Narcissists keep their
Manipulations close but
Their prey closer
❀
You hated me because
You could never
Manipulate me for long
And I pitied you
Because a person who
Can’t admit to having faults
Could never forgive others
For theirs

I made a new friend online and this guy is a narcissist and loves grinding my gears. When I tell him that he's been saying stuff that he knows will trigger me, he says "No, I don't do anything. It's you who gets triggered by whatever I say". That gaslighting! My God! Anyway, loved your poem!
I recently wrote that creativity is often a response to pain. Reading this, that feels truer than ever.
I cannot find the words to express my appreciation for what you are saying with you poems 💔❤️🩹
Fabulous!!! Left a heart!!!
How is this so encompassing these days.. compassion for self and others (I think) is key. An interesting piece!!
Very true
Whoa!!! Great insight into the mind of a narcissist!
Continues to be completely relatable, both for the narcissists we've endured & the one we find within ourselves.
