Narcissus and the poisoned catharsis




Have you ever been left in thrall by the gigantic curiosity of a face-no-face woman?

All she ever desires to ask the fortune-teller is, how long it is due, her death

Makes me nauseous, I never knew cracking a joke could reveal that much 


Well, I presume, it's alright when you are allowed to rebel as much as you are in the confines of a home you never belonged 

It is supposed to be that, 

you are either mad or you grow mad 


Narcissists are funny, sad little creatures, you see

If only we would have been smarter, they wouldn't have needed to do all the wrongs they did 


Then there are the compulsive disorders they are obliged to do 

The trauma they inherit

Their purple hearts

The cursed pool

The inability to project everything others’

Now, tell me who is who, who's a sorry figure now? 


Poor, sad, little thing

Lies are after all, a defense, innocent games of love

Self-esteem is an overarching possession, you lack, your bad 


All I mean to say is, 

you think all your tears are worth,

Wait till they are reduced to a penny given in stupid charity 

Because when you were consuming yourself into what you are least not

Being unkind to yourself is the cruelest thing you ever did.
