Beyond the Glittering Guise
In a world where reflections reign supreme
Where every glance is a self-esteemed dream
The mirror's embrace, a siren's call
Echoes of vanity, where shadows fall
Society's stage, a grand masquerade
Where masks of perfection are carefully laid
Enabling whispers, a chorus of lies
While the truth in silence quietly dies
The narcissist's charm, a dazzling facade
A dance of deception, a cunning charade
Their words like honey, sweet to the ear
Yet leaving the heart in a state of fear
Victims are silenced, their voices unheard
Drowned by the echoes of the narcissist's word
In a world that applauds the bold and the brash
The gentle and kind are left in the ash
Why do we praise the glittering guise
While the genuine soul is met with despise?
Why do we nurture the seeds of deceit
While the roots of truth wither in defeat?
The mirror reflects a society's flaw
A culture that worships the self without awe
Where empathy's whispers are lost in the din
And the cries of the wounded are buried within
Yet beneath the surface, a quiet revolt
A yearning for truth, a longing to bolt
From the chains of illusion, the shackles of pride
To a place where authenticity can reside
Let us break free from the mirror's spell
And listen to stories the silenced can tell
For in their voices, a wisdom profound
A reminder that true beauty is found
In the courage to stand, to speak and to see
Beyond the reflection, to what we can be
A society that cherishes the heart and the soul
Where the light of compassion makes us whole
So let us rise, with a vision anew
To a world where the many, not the few
Are celebrated for who they truly are
A tapestry of humanity, shining like a star
In the mirror's embrace, let us find our way
To a future where love and truth hold sway
Where the narcissist's shadow fades to gray
And the light of kindness leads the way
