Escape (Narcissist)

by No1ButMe   Sep 4, 2017


I will crawl out of hell
On my hands and knees
With a broken soul
And wounds that still bleed
Even if I have to rest
On the cold dirty floor
I refuse to sit back
And take any more
All your promises are broken
Just like my dreams
You came and turned them into nightmares
Ripping apart my seams
Tortured me, abandoned me
Hoping I would die
Then turned around blaming me
About how I made you cry
Poor you, always the victim
Spreading your deceit
Everyone judging, hating
As from my life they retreat
You have no feelings, no morals
Just this sickening grin
Makes me stop and wonder
Why I ever let you in
You lock eyes with me
Almost like a private joke
I wish they could see you
Without your mask and cloak
You put me in hell
But I managed to survive
Even if right now
I don’t really feel alive
Someday I will,
And you will see;
Just because you put me in a cage
Doesn’t mean I couldn’t break free...

-I wrote this because I live in a family of Narcissists and I know that every day can be a struggle. If you have ever dealt with one, don't blame yourself, they are the ones that need help, they are the ones that are wrong. Just stay strong and don't lose hope.-

    I enjoy this poem. Its conflicted, but then again, the nature of narcissism is about conflict: conflict with the world, conflict with others, conflict with yourself. I like how this poem simply throws conflict in the eyes of the reader, invoking how tiring it must be to deal with the mechanism of ego attachment and senseless grandeur on a daily basis? Good poem. Thank you.
