“Opposites attract,” they said
And for an instance I forgot
That the opposite of good is always bad
About Opposites Attract:
Opposites Attract is a poem that was inspired by some personal experiences I’ve had. Sometimes you meet someone that you believe is special and that you care for a lot. But at some point you may realise that they don’t feel the same way about you, that they were just using you. That they are not actually genuinely good people but rather an awful person. I’ve had that experience with someone I cared about turning out to be a narcissist and eventually having to learn to keep my distance for my own safety and piece of mind.
I don’t know if any of you have ever dealt with a narcissist before but it is absolutely exhausting and draining. They destroy everything in their path and hurt those closest to them more than anyone. And the sad part is that they don’t even feel any guilt for the damage they cause because they don’t feel empathy the way “normal” people do. Or even gratitude for all that others have done for them. It hurts, it hurts a lot. And that pain is what inspired this poem.
