The List, The List
Anything but the list
Place any burden on me
Just don’t go down the list
Isn’t it exhausting?
To keep tabs on every slight?
Every argument?
Every rumor?
Every paranoid, homespun lie?
Every time something happens
The smallest thing that you dont like
It turns into an eruption
Decades worth of smite
Denial is your breastplate
Manipulation is your word
Blaming is your iron shield
And the list is your sword
In case you haven’t noticed
I ain’t rolling with this fight
I ain’t dwelling on your petty blows
Your hook won’t get a bite
So you can argue with yourself all day
You can yell at the walls
I’m over you and the list motherfucker
In case you didn’t know
That’s a really short and sweet poem conveying your thoughts on gaslighting – the typical weapon most narcissists resort to! Narcissism is one of my favorite personality disorders to talk about. I am sorry if that happened to you. Stay strong, beautiful 🙂

Thank you. And yes, it happened. It took like 8 years for the PTSD to simmer down. Never again…
