Faded Reality-Life OfDelusion

In the mirror, they gaze with admiration The narcissist, so consumed by self-love and elation Unable to see beyond their own reflection Blinded by their own sense of perfection They paint a picture of themselves in their minds A masterpiece of lies and deceit that binds The truth they refuse to acknowledge Their flaws hidden beneath a polished facade Unable to face the reality of their flaws They construct a world where they are above the laws Of empathy, kindness, and compassion Their inflated ego their only obsession They gaslight and manipulate those around Distorting the truth until it can't be found Their words dripping with honeyed poison Their actions leaving scars that can't be undone The narcissist can't handle the truth That they are not the embodiment of youth But rather a cruel, selfish being Whose mask is slowly peeling They lash out at those who dare to challenge Their delusions, their ego unable to handle The thought that they are not as perfect as they claim They play the victim, shifting the blame So they continue on their path of destruction Leaving behind a trail of broken trust and corruption Unable to see the damage they've done The narcissist remains forever on the run.
