Narcissus And Narcissist Poem by Saima Qureshi

0Narcissus and Narcissist

I looked all around
For something to allure me
Other than myself
Wandered in jungles
Saw on the facet of a pond
Portrait of absolute beauty
Relative to none
Enchanted by the spell
Fell in love, all at once
Forgot everything
Found an Echo, following me
Rejected her, I totally
And made headway
To embrace my love
It vanished, as I touched
Erasing my existence too
But Echo kept resonating!
Now I live in you
Like a pursuit of gratification
From vanity
Sense of self-importance
Egoistic admiration
Of your self-image
Entitled for being best
Stuck in thyself
Soliciting applause
Putting others down
Rejecting Echoes of
Love and relationship
Ties and friendship
Erasing every goodnesses
Denying true happinesses
