Narcissism
Behind a mask
You brood
A false smile
You struggle to recollect
The bunch of lies you told
Convincingly each word conveyed
Though far from
The border of reality
Make up stories
As you rearrange details
Finer points added
As you fib again
They believe what you say
A life of fantasy to stay
You love your reflection
But don’t recognize what you see
Truth always
Brings you down on knees
Is it easy to live a life not true
Take a bow
You have said all that you wanted
Time for the curtains to close
They all depart
The arc lights shut
It is now
Just you and gloom.
