Draining

In the grasp of a narcissist's toxicity, I find myself drowning in despair, Mentally drained, my spirit crushed, I am left feeling lost and bare. Their words cut like a knife, A constant assault on my soul, Leaving me feeling paralyzed, Struggling to maintain control. Every interaction leaves me drained, Their constant need for validation, Leaves me feeling empty and strained, Lost in a cycle of manipulation. I try to break free from their hold, But they have a way of pulling me back, Into their web of deceit and lies, Leaving me feeling under attack. I am stuck in this never-ending game, Of trying to please their every whim, But no matter how hard I try, I simply cannot win. The narcissist feeds off my pain, Thriving on my suffering and sorrow, Leaving me feeling broken and drained, Hoping for a better tomorrow. But I know deep down inside, I must find the strength to break free, From this toxic relationship, And finally set myself free. So I gather my courage and resolve, To break free from their toxic hold, And reclaim my power and sense of self, No longer allowing their manipulation to take its toll. I will no longer be mentally drained, Or paralyzed by their games, I will rise above and break free, From the narcissist's chains.
