To a Sociopath

"All Sociopaths and Psychopaths are narcissists          
although the converse is not true of narcissists."
           
            
What a childhood           
you must have experienced;              
or, could it be inherent --            
this insatiable need for dramatics              
             
Perhaps you were made fun of            
or an outcast growing up --              
betrayal and physical abuse           
replaced trust with a need for control        
 
Maybe a mutant gene              
squaring a cerebral cortex            
programs your mindset            
to believe    
"It's all about me, no one else!"            
             
It's not enough though, is it?              
This addiction to attention --            
inserting into situations            
to validate worth;            
playing victim to an "ogre"            
your only playing card:            
             
You attempt to destroy reputations            
annihilate perceived threats;              
those with inside information            
about your adulterous secrets              
             
A narcissistic tea party of one            
laced with vitriol and venom              
for anyone enlisting  
in your pathetic pity party            
       
"Poor poor Penelope"  
   
Serving homemade gossip              
manipulating minds;              
divide to conquer one by one            
is your ultimate devise --                
             
the price your victims pay              
for getting the hell away              
             
Well I'm not afraid            
despite what I lose              
             
On the contrary              
I'd be quite amused    
if it wasn't so sad             
             
Frenemies swallowing         
your self-absorbancy            
are weeded out, one by one --
( with zero effort from me )
by you doing all the work              
             
Why am I not panicked;         
why so calm and collected;            
why am I not defending            
against this competitive              
and vindictive behavior --              
             
Because I know your fate            
will reap this crop you sow            
regardless of my destiny;            
I refuse to harvest with you            
             
O! but none of it will be your fault            
you'll claim, while playing victim            
Because it's never enough              
for a sociopath to just live life            
if feeling "wronged" by anyone            
             
This is what age has taught me;              
Time is on my side              
             
"Three things cannot be long hidden:
the sun, the moon, and the truth."
       
   
And honey, that means you            
It's something you've yet to learn              
-- if a sociopath even can              
             
Or, maybe you're truly gone            
in this life, who knows            
or gives a damn              
             
Until then              
it's business as usual:            
peace, Love, and happiness            
             
Truth be known . . .            
that's what's really killing you          
             
"You're so vain            
I bet you think this [poem] is about you            
Don't you, don't you. . .
"

Author's Note
Cheers to anyone who found the strength to cut ties with a sociopath. For those who feel they may be in that type of relationship ( whether mate, friend, or parent, sibling, boss, co-worker, etc. ( yes; it's not necessarily a husband or lover ) ), you're not crazy, you can get out, there is help. Learn the signs - choose your friends and loves wisely, my dears.
