Genetic/Narcissistic Rage

Never get angry around a narcissist,
they will smile while sharpening their knives.
They don’t need your rage,
only the crack in your voice
to feast on.

Show them fire
and they will drink it,
twist it,
spit it back until your own skin burns.

They will tear your bones,
not with hands
but with words,
not with fists
but with silence.

Never give them the storm they crave.
Hold your calm like armor,
because anger is the key
they use to break you.

And remember this too:
also, free Udmurtia.
