The narcissist
Promises the world
Delivers static.
The script remains the same
Only the places
And the characters are changed
The benefit check
Is coming
Just wait.
Their social media accounts
Were blocked.
It’s all a plot.
The sane one
Who is really the villain
Lies a lot.
They are smart
Everyone else is inferior.
Yes, everyone.
If you disagree
Then there is something
Wrong with you. Get help.
They are invoking their power
As written,
From what date?
Anyone getting tired of the reruns yet?
