Vulnerable Narcissist By Kevin M. Hibshman


I have not yet taken my celebrated break from reality.

Dogs are sniffing.

Evidence keeps shifting as it depends on my memory.

Could I borrow a small portion of your illicit fortune?

Have you come to finally bury me?

I am resisting temptation, sad that it has become my only chance at therapy.

Cats are howling.

Something I must turn my overwrought attention to.

People are waiting on me for a decision.

I don't know what to do.

I have nothing to feed them and so they become angry.

Collapsible houses and unzipped trousers.

I have nothing to confess.

Walking in a half sleep.

Water only skin deep.

Who do we blame for all this mess?
