A Narcissist Runs With It (Bussokusekika)

Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)



A Narcissist Runs With It   (Bussokusekika)

A wise woman said
“Truth is stranger than fiction”
Who could have believed
Such simple words could be true
One in love is truly blind
A narcissist runs with it

About this poem

https://www.facebook.com/reel/1340166443307480?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&mibextid=0VwfS7 … And I too wonder IF track 3 on I Am has anything to do with The Dark Years???And as for tracks 13&18…I plead the 5th…I am truly sorry ladies… And Heather…As for pages 91&92…I’m certain things will work out…And for some reason I feel as if I should ask you…Do you truly feel in your heart that I am mentally disturbed and/or crazy???Complex PTSD is in a class all of its own…But what do I know??? But I’d like to make one thing perfectly clear…I serve only one and I will never write of Ave Maria nor serve the 3…

    So, if I am reading this correctly, you are suggesting that a narcissist could take advantage of the complexities of love for his/her own gain. My question then becomes, how is this related to life being stranger than fiction? I seem to have missed the connection there. Enlighten me. (no pun intended)

      I could enlighten you…But I feel and believe you have to search for those golden nuggets on your own…Here is a little Food For Thought…
