The Narcissist

Niki Oz

Drowning in self righteousness. My ego flies high above the clouds. My feet try to stay planted with the roots of all things earthbound but my pride? My pride pulls treacherously at the weakest pieces to bring me that much closer to the skies. The world so cold and cruel, it owes me I feel. I didn't ask to be here, to be mistreated, unloved and abandoned. I didn't ask to develope trust issues, drug issues, codependency issues, intimacy issues, mental health issues. No no. Those are stemmed from being dealt a bad hand at life. My decisions are made BECAUSE the world wrecked me and ill be damned if it doesn't owe me everything. Why should I change my behavior when I can just blame it on the world? The pain isn't mine to carry; I never asked for this. Stomping on others to build my staircase, shattering others self worth to add value to my own. I deserve this. I am owed. If you break its because you're weak; not because you stayed far too strong for far too long. My words don't cut like knives and my deceit does not burn your soul like fire. My breath does not melt your skin. No no, that is all you. Take responsibility,  take control, own up. While I sit here on my thrown of broken skeletons and bleeding hearts just remember; I told you so; I told you I was entitled, I told you I was owed.

    Narcissists feel they are entitled but nobody deserves ti be treated as less than . I guess they need help .

    • Niki Oz

      Agreed. They do need help, some counseling usually. The toughest part for them is accepting they in fact are narcissistic to begin with.

    • Violet bluebell( used to be yellow rose)

      They like to shift the blame onto others and not take responsibility .. so true

      • Niki Oz

        Absolutely. Oddly it tends to be due to it hurts their own feelings to treat others like that so when and if they do realize it, they're angry at themselves and misery loves company.

        amazing piece of work, alot of the times
        a narcissist has an underlying disorder, but it takes the right psychiatrist & counselor, especially now with the changes to the DSM, Happy Sunday!

          Absolutely! Thank you so very much for the complement. Im so glad you like it or can relate from whichever side. As a writer our main goal is just to usually connect in any way. So I truly appreciate it 🖤

            I couldn't agree more about the underlying issues and the appropriate professional to diagnose and treat these issues. It's sad really because these alot of times are the people who have been damaged so badly but still have the biggest hearts and are just to terrified to let the walls down.
