just like your mother

"...you were so good at believing your own lies..."

just like your mother

you were the villain
who thought
himself the hero,

i will never understand
how you could think that;

but perhaps you were so
good at believing your
own lies that you didn't know
how to tell the difference
from truth and fiction --

i know to you, i am the
villain;

but let's be honest
when did someone being
strong and asserting their
boundaries make them a villain?
you're a narcissist, just like your mother.
