And so what happens to the NARCISSIST when it grows old?
Does it still push the buttons with its hand at the controls?
Will its flying monkeys be by their side?
Ready to spread the rumours to tarnish a life?
When they are asked to face the truth.
Will they put up their hands and take responsibility for it all?
All the grief and suffering that they caused.
Or will they go on still denying it all?
It wasn't their fault someone else is to blame.
I never would do that, please let me explain.
Will they live on and on for the joy of life?
Or live on and on for the fear of death?
Where they will finally be judged for themselves.
Don't forget a NARCISSIST lives a life of denial.
It even believes the lies that it tells.
Because they cannot be truthful about themselves.
They live in a fantasy that's only real to themselves.
And when they get found out they have to move on.
After living a life based on self denial.
Can they really acknowledge the truth of their life?
