Narcissistic Poem by Ravi Kopra

Narcissistic



So hungry-sensitive that he
craves day and night the pap of praise,
he'll ease his gripes or fingerpaint
in heartsblood on a public page.
The ordinary world must be
altered to circumvent his rage.

-from Gwen Hardwood's poem: Dichterliebe

So foolish-narcissit that he
has all the criteria to be labeled with NPD, namely:

"-grandiose sense of self-importance
-preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
-belief they're special and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people or institutions
-need for excessive admiration
-sense of entitlement
-interpersonally exploitative behavior
-lack of empathy
-envy of others or a belief that others are envious of them
-demonstration of arrogant and haughty behaviors or attitudes."

(fromDiagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders)

Every body is fake, not he
Every body tells lies, not he
Every body is an idiot, not he
Every body is a failure, not he
Every body is ordinary, not he
Every body is a nonetity, not he

Nobody is anything, he is everything
He is everything, everything is he
No body is, was or ever will be he
Every body is no body, and it is only
he, he, he, hee-haw, he!
