Hidden Narcissist
I'm alone when I'm with you,
Never here always there.
I'm hurting I need you,
But you are too far to care.
I Confronted you,
But I'm the monster?
A deep shade of green.
I apply your pink paint everyday
So, by no one, you are ever seen.
I turned your red flags into bunting,
Yay I survived another day!
I smoothed your cloven hooves,
And put your pitchfork away.
No tears before bedtime,
Read the rest of the poem Show less
Trauma, take a long reprieve.
Feelings, flashbacks get in line.
It's time gentlemen please.
One day you will awaken
but I will not be there.
No one to tell to shut the fuck up
Nobody left to care.
Beware!
