narcissistic parent

dear dear narcissistic parent,

no one gives a s**t about your kid---

just because you wanted to be a parent

just because that is what you envisioned for yourself

as the pinnacle of your existence

because you gave up on everything else

far too early

so as to try & mold another

you,

through popping them out like pez from a

dispenser---

how vain does one have to be

to believe that they can breed an upgrade of themselves?

how vain does one have to be to

self-impose their will upon their own child?

all the while wondering if they will live up to your

expectations

all the while trying to steer them in the direction

that you never followed through on

yourself.

 

did you want to be a parent or did the condom break?

did you play “russian roulette” & throw caution to the wind

gambling on at least 18 years of another human being’s life

because you wanted to roll in the hay?

did you create something of which you will

always

be

responsible

for

creating,

on a f*****g whim?

 

the world does not need another body

it needs bodies that care about the world.
