Our lives of fiction
Become worlds.
Narcissism, the delusion,
It is what it’s called.
Its health
Is to relieve
Through much
Prayer, and fasting
From our sin.
How I felt it
When you said,
“Relieve him,”:
Then listen to me—
I prayed for that
Moment.
My relief shall come
When you do not
Condemn the poor.
