Over Enough is More than Enough

This elastic band has stretched as far as it possibly can Now is the time to cut the cord Over enough is more than enough It's time for the narcissist to be unveiled Oh bride of Satan For the wolves in sheep's clothing to be called out Your time is up! We've had enough! People are not as stupid as you'd like them to be That spoiled little brat of a child inside is to be silenced for good Singlehandedly you have destroyed your relationships Systematically you have ruined your friendships Over enough is more than enough The true meaning of loneliness you will now encounter Your fragile mask has shattered into pieces The protective cover has blown away Exposed you will stand Finally everyone will see you for the serpent you truly are No one is buying the lies you have so generously been selling No matter how great a bargain Your mind games and tactics have become stale Over enough is more than enough The reality which awaits you is harsh and bleak From your put on laugh to the fake compliments Both come from the same dark and empty space A bottomless pit of deception in which you lurk Hollow vase you are Collage of fabricated personalities You model yourself on others But can never hold down one character for too long Over enough is more than enough Like a blank canvas you are vacant to take on any shape or form You wear a fake smile and your eyes are dead You destroy like a bull, but hurt like a baby Your brain is corroded and your spirit is ill Your own medicine you will drink It will consume you from the inside out Implode you will Troublemaker and schemer Over enough is more than enough You are driven by your severe deep-rooted insecurity and shame You prey on the empathetic Virtual vampire, always looking for someone to drain You do unto others as you would NOT have done unto yourself A conscience you were born without Quick to quote a scripture or two But slow in applying it to yourself And even the devil knows the score Over enough is more than enough Your condescending eyes will be plucked out by a ruthless crow You will burn in your own defeat and your perfume will be sulphur Down you will tumble from your pedestal You no longer have a place in my life You no longer have a place in my heart But more importantly You no longer have a place in my mind

This poem was written for anyone who has ever suffered emotional abuse from a true narcissist.
It may be a partner, colleague, family member, or a "friend" (note, I've put the word "friend" in inverted commas, because a narcissist could pose as your "friend", but never truly be one).
The term narcissist has been used very loosely in recent times, but few people know what the term really means.
Growing up I used to think that it refers to someone who is very full of themselves. However, we now know that it's a personality disorder. I do not claim to be an expert on the subject, but I do know what it feels like to be at the receiving end of such a person or people.
The key is to educate yourself on the matter. Where there is knowledge, fear must go!

First comes the discovery
Followed by great anger, anxiety, depression
Then comes healing
Finally resume your joy and sanity
Then move forward
