Self Love Gone Wrong Poem by Francis Duggan

It is said of narcissism it is self love gone wrong
To true love of self it does not or will never belong
The one who loves self has love for to share
And of the feelings and needs of others is aware
But narcissism is self love in it's most extreme
Of the egotistical absorbed in their own sense of self esteem
It is only to self to that they can relate
The successes of others they could not celebrate
Narcissistic people of the needs of others are never aware
For self and self only they only does care
People without kindness or compassion or empathy
For themselves only they can feel sympathy
Infatuation with self in every narcissist is strong
Narcissism has been described as self love gone wrong.
