In that moment
I saw the real you
The one you keep hidden from the world
The monster that comes out when you see red
The thing I am afraid of most
About “Seeing The Real You”:
I know I usually post something about food on Fridays but I’m just not feeling it today so I’m sharing something from my drafts. Seeing The Real You has been sitting in my drafts for quite a while now. I felt like it needed a little more or needed more editing. So today, instead of writing something from scratch, I decided to just edit the poem a little bit and share it. It’s something I still relate to and have been feeling lately.
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.
Have you ever dealt with a narcissist? If so, do you have any advice for someone recovering from narcissistic abuse? Let me know in the comments below. Or simply stop by and say hi!
I recently published my first book and would be honoured if you took a minute to check it out here.
