narcissism

i spent my life trying to please

someone with a twisted disease

i broke myself down

and tucked my feelings away

to become the person

they wanted me to be

i let myself be watched

through the glass of a two sided mirror

of a sociopath

i wallowed my spirit away

and begged for acceptance

but there’s nothing in the world

that i could do

to let the narcissist know

that i am human too
