See all those people
they're real, they
think, they
aren't mannequins.
I know this may come
as a surprise, but there
are other people in the world
with problems.
And by the way, the fact that
you can't find your tweezers
isn't a catastrophe.
Oh I know you need them to
perfect your eyebrows.
Just in case you forgot,
We are having a pandemic!
Oh, you want me to leave because
I make you uncomfortable.
Never mind, it is freezing out
and it's late at night, and I've nowhere to go.
Just a small reminder, we have a
two-year-old daughter, and I
have been helping you take care
of your son for eight years.
Oh, it's your house, and
it's not your job to put me up.
I wouldn't live with you if you paid me.
I had a place, but I gave it up when
you called me, crying and begging
for my help with the kids, because
you couldn't multi-task.
Ok, now I get why you got
rid of the mirrors in your house.
Even though you're a narcissist,
it's too painful for you to
see your vacant reptilian eyes
starring back at you.

A vivid description of a narcissistic person. Difficult to live with I'm sure I have some of these traits myself and I'm no charm.
Thank you for stopping by.
Oh my goodness so powerful and sad, as the reader I felt every last emotion, isn't life and love and everything that is in-between so very complicated sometimes. A brilliant yet sad image. 🌹sometimes if you offer a hand some will take the whole arm.
Such true words Thomas, I have known one of them and he was so cruel to his partner, luckily he has now gone!
