Gaslit

By WhiteJazz

Apathy entrenched in the mind
Of the war-weary trophy child
Chronically apologetic
Pathetic
People pleasing
And Mild On the charm offensive
Marches his narcissist
A fake authority
Targeting the enemy
Spying vulnerability
Seizing opportunity
Assaulting authenticity
Conquering his loyalty
With
The darkest empathy
Plagued by illusions
False conclusions
Covertly manufactured
Manipulative
Intrusions?
Subtle
Campaigns to weaken
The fragile
Defenses of reality
Forcing him to question
His beliefs
&
His sanity?
