your narcissism runs high
& it’s more than I can stand
not everything is about you
nor do you have the upper hand
the fury you ignite
is a passion so consuming
to fight or take flight
seems always ever looming
maybe I have got this all wrong
you have every right to be so narcissistic
because I give you so much power
I simply let you drive me ballistic
but know this and know this well
there is never one you
no never is there ever one you
there ever only is ever one me
what you get from me
may seem like I’m always on you
but think clearly before you assume
because I very well could be
talking of only me
-sarah brekke (CB) 2013




“nor do you have the upper hand”… agree with the sentiment, and really like the poem. I often wonder why some people seem to have a biological NEED to be right; as a mumma, I work hard to instill a sense of self to my girl, but also let her know the world is indeed painted with ALL the pretty colors, not just one. =)
Thank you.
Your daughter is lucky to have a mumma like you.
Ooh, thanks for the kindness… have a great day ! =)
Narcissistic’s feed off others. Take away their power, and they are useless.
I appreciate your support, but the poem… how do I put this? It starts out as me talking to the person who thinks everything I say or infer is about them. Then it broadens because people in my life always think anything I post on FB or my blog and whatnot is about them, then enters the self realization that everything I see about them, I am capable of myself or I am talking of myself, not them. There are many you, but there really ever is only one me.
I see what your saying CB. I am a little slow.
Me too. That’s why I didn’t jump ya. lol xox
At least we can admit it! lol xoxo
I have been guilty of calling myself out on my “blond moments” or being unable to “catch it with my ponytail”. Making fun of yourself makes it a little harder for someone else to.
My dear, that is how I have made it to the age I am without having jumped over a cliff.
