The Mask — Poem
2 min readApr 30, 2023
A poem about the false facade that a narcissist presents to the world and the toll it takes on their inner self.
The world sees a face, so polished and refined
A smile so wide, so charming, so kind
A glimmer in the eye, so bright and divine
A persona so perfect, so perfectly designed
But deep beneath that facade, lies a soul so cold
A heart so empty, a story untold
A void so vast, a thirst unquenched
A spirit so fragile, so easily drenched
The mask they wear, so perfectly placed
A shield so strong, an armor encased
A wall so tall, so difficult to breach
A veil so thick, so difficult to teach
Their world revolves around that mask they wear
A guise so seamless, so difficult to tear
A self so hidden, so deep and so dark
