Textbook Design #1

Conversating with a narcissist and the cycle you wind up spiraling through over and over.

Get it straight
A threat is different than a choice
Flirting is NOT the same as NETWORKING
You keep yelling at me
Interrupting me
Telling me
I am interrupting you
and yelling at you
I am demanding at this point
But to no remorse / avail
You speak out loud
Straightforward
I will not be quiet and listen
Because I don't want to hear it
He's entitled himself to giving silent treatments
and the backs to my walls of support
which lack the same in return...

Oh- okay- so now-
It's totally okay for you
to completely dismiss me
deny what happened
Disrespecting me the whole time
As you continue screaming over me
giving me no space to safely or soundly
Freely express myself
Or even defend myself
From your constant and repetitive offenses
Then you always somehow
Never explain yourself
your actions
never match your words
and I'm somehow always over-explaining myself
Deflection at it's best
The cycle goes on to follow the textbooks
