I’m a Narcissist

I'm a Narcissist

Perhaps I am, after studying 20 years
A know nothing fool, who hasn't written 
A single good poem. Perhaps I ought
To make a fortune... and seek not true love.
Perhaps I ought be unkind and cruel
For that is kindness in today's world.
Not speak truth--nor think there is truth.
Mr. Cross, I am a narcissist as you claimed
Guilty as charged. I love hard
And that's not allowed. I am kind
And that's naughty. Am I even humble?
Is humility a not boast and no self respect?
Yes... humility is to love myself
Inordinately more than anyone else.
Which I do not, so thus I am a narcissist.
In our modern, conflated definition of the word
That doesn't make sense.
Just like our definition for Equity
No longer strikes to the core of truth
But is rather about inequity in all things.
So, to be the narcissist is to feel pain
For others' suffering, and want to right what's wrong.
And to humbly proclaim there is no truth
And there is no God, and that all who love
Their Neighbor are narcissists too.
That is humility, and self sacrifice and love,
Is to know thyself, and love only thyself,
And do all for thyself, and no other.
Only than can you not be one. Only then.
A true narcissist.
