-Preface- This collection of poems is for those of you who have suffered through what can only be described as "blindly dating a narcissist." These are often unseen criminals within society, performing selfish, sociopathic and psychologically abusive acts in the name of love. They do not truly see the other person, using all sorts of manipulative tactics once they are certain they've got you. Nobody deserves a one-sided relationship like this. As a poet, I express myself through my art in an attempt to let go of it afterward. I've traveled this exact road, unknowingly, innocently, blindly - and I was more than shocked to find out just how little I meant to my narcissistic ex-lovers after the ordeal had passed. The impact it had on my self-worth and self image was more severe than I could have anticipated. This way of going about a relationship is not real love. In fact, it's closer to slavery. Love should never become a vicious cycle of codependency. The love everyone craves is one that comes from a place of wholeness within both parties. Condoning anything outside of your own wholeness will cause you to hate yourself, and from that place, any love is unattainable. Through these troubled reflections, I was able to see how I allowed myself to become victimized through continuing these cycles with my previous partners. One should never stand for this type of abuse. Once you spot it, while it may be hard, you should try to put an end to it to prevent further damages. You can only change yourself, claiming responsibility for your own actions at all times, and I assure you, doing so is incredibly empowering. May this work of poems (which I have spent over three years reflecting on myself to create) help those of you who are in post-narcissistic relationship recovery, who can't make heads or tales of what just happened or how to proceed from here on out. Lastly, just remember that you are and always will be your own being, and that nothing outside of you can define who or what you are. I hope you not only enjoy these works, but that they provide you with a sense of relief and an understanding that you are never alone. Wednesday Addams
