They call me a psychopath

I don’t care about anyone

other than myself

I have no empathy for you

I do what is best for me

I am narcissistic

look in the mirror often

take what I want

offered or not

I’m driven to harm others

I regard love with contempt

I am an emotional predator

have disdain for normal feelings

I am certain that I am superior

I want to destroy and harm you

inside and out, body and soul

I’m angry if you don’t approve

I love my feeling of power

as I manipulate and use you

I provide a needed service

by getting rid of those

that are too weak

to belong in my world

without a backward glance

they are of no relevance.

I am drawn to the outcasts, the 'special' ones, and the weirdos. I cherish relationships that take intricate effort to cultivate. Easy friends are easy to make. And maybe easy to lose. I am more interested in those that society overlooks or chooses to avoid. I invest my energy to listen to and learn about their stories and most importantly how I can help them. What do they gain? Well, my friendship. For what it's worth. Others might think I'm weird for being friends with weird people. But I have the will to defend them. Because the stories untold are sometimes the better ones. Richer ones. And that inspires me to write. I am a collector of stories. I sometimes speak for them in my poetry in words they could never form. And by doing all this I help them come out of their shell. Or they dont even need to come out to prove anything to anyone. I only want them to feel comfortable in their own skin and not feel that everyone is against them.
