Neo Narcissist
Sustained by algorithms’ endless applause,
meaning mended for masterminds.
The feed,
a glittered mist,
a made-up mirror
for the neo narcissist.
Voiceless,
when no one is listening.
Heartless,
with a pretended pulse.
Painless,
powered by the pain.
Not a fault, not a bitch—
just another cultural glitch,
born and raised on feedback loops,
jerking on commentary boosts,
faking friendly, preaching dharma,
while owning the online trauma.
It’s never about who you are,
but who is watching.
