Narcissist

 

Narcissist? 

I may intrigue myself, yes

But I cannot look at myself

And see what I want to see

I hate every part of being me

So I seek good characteristics

To distinguish myself worthy

I may be good at f****n everything

I may be really f****n smart

I may look really hot to everyone else

I may be hilarious and care free

I may be weird and outgoing

I may be really good to talk to

I may be a great friend

I may be a great guy on the outside

But that’s only what other people see

That’s not me.

 

I often drive

And as I fly by

I find comfort in large objects

Things I could crash into

And for some reason

I play it out over and over

But never do it

Not even close

I have imagined myself doing it

So many times yet it never happens

I’ve truly wanted it

Yet it doth not mark an occurrence

That means something

good, yet swift progression. I like the "doth not" line, that was used very well, which is sometimes difficult to achieve with victorian english. i like the poem though, i like this one better than observe and report, i think its more abstract yet personal.

I am glad you pointed me here. Again the subject matter is difficult, but your perspective is rather heart breaking and I believe very honest. How many of us do not see what others see? Many. How many have this kind of profound disconnect? I hope few.

And it does mean something!

Thanks for reading! A little disheartening to hear in those words but that is as it reads.

[Shannon]

And I assumed, because it was so well written, it was personal, but I could be wrong. I am aware that I don't know you!

[Caboj]

No you are correct by all means! It's what it was about honestly.
