Narcissist

Perched before the mirror,

my eyes open to see

the greatest of loves there in front of me

 

With a smile, a chuckle,

a nod and a wink

I’m falling in love above my bathroom sink

 

My ocular captions

are fixed in a gaze

and neither denies

our lust-worthy ways

Never before

have I seen such a marvel

Brought almost to awe

yet I recant such sparkle

 

For my status is equal

or better than such

I say with full modesty

(as if I must)

The greatness exuded

Displayed on both sides

It is something that I

and the other can't hide

 

All of those who now know

and all those who shall see

will admire and greet us

down on bended knee

Consternation displayed

only to be outdone

by illustrious gestures

to this royal son

 

But enough of the rest,

there is just you and I

“All of those poor, poor people”,

we say with a sigh

They will truly not know

what it is to be us

When you don't have to worry

And don't have to fuss

 

This supremacy life

is a difficult one

My heart would feel pity,

(If I had one)

Instead it’s disgust,

disdain and the like

The fuel that's propelling me

forward with blithe

 

Still across from me now,

a reverent sight

Another near equal

and one who just might

be the only one worthy enough possibly

To stand here beside me for others to see

 

They think they all know

but know nothing they do

It's the jealousy had by them

for I and you

They’re like chlorophyllic plants

Dripping in so much envy

They try and they try;

They try to prevent me

 

From being the greatness

I know I can be

If just given a chance

Then perhaps they would see

But alas, in the end

it doesn't mean ****

What I care for is me

Only me

and that's it

 

Except my love for you

It's so deep can’t you see?

It is real

I can feel it

I truly believe

Only you I can trust

The one person who matters

The one I turn to

when life breaks and it shatters

 

All others are pawns

I can move on the board

Sacrificial pieces

for falling on swords

No dispute; I am king

Come stand here with me

It’s us versus them

And trust me they will see

 

It might not be today

It might not be tomorrow

But it will be soon

when they join me in sorrow

Make all of them pay

For what they’ve done to me

For the pain they’ve inflicted

Their fault, you will see

 

Anything that I do

Even though I will try

They keep holding me down

No idea; Don't know why

They are all out to get me

So plainly can see

But one thing you won't see

is not the last of me

 

Here, take my hand lover

and come with me now

We'll go out in the world

and together show how

Their pathetic existence

can benefit us

We may step on some ants

But there's no need to fuss

 

The hole that is empty

That is our damnation

Use things superficial

Instant gratification

It's a short-term "fix"

But will make-do for now

In our path, leave destruction

This much I will vow

 

Happiness, thoughtfulness

or concerned empathy

Some examples of words

unfamiliar to me

Therefore, no one can feel it

Must feel like I do

Only then I'm complete

Feeling I belong too
