Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultraconfidence lies a fragile self-esteem that’s vulnerable to the slightest criticism. A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial affairs.
Narcissis so proud and "yellow"
So self centered be this fellow
Narcissisistic seems to cower
Seeks not praise nor total power
Revealing truth about the narcissistic among us; from what I have learned, there is little or no help for them, and that is very sad!
Thank you for sharing.
AND WHAT'S SO TERRIBLE IS...I CAN JUST IMAGINE, 'IF' THIS NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY WERE TO HAVE 'SOMEHOW' COME INTO A PLACE OF LEADERSHIP IT WOULD PROBABLY HURT AND OFFEND EVERYONE IT CAME IN CONTACT WITH. ALL ONE CAN DO IS PRAY AND ASK GOD TO CONTINUE KEEPING ...US! SO WELL DONE AND ENJOYED, JANE! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS
Let sure jumps the gun on spring! Always the first one there poking through the cold ground looking for sunlight for its very brief time to grow and reproduce until next spring.
Back about 1984 when we were tearing down a residence on campus, there was a bed of Narcissus in white about to be destroyed. I gathered up some of it and put it in my trunk to take home. I planted it in the front of my house beneath some shrubbery. A few years later, I took some of it back to give to Sylvia Johnson who was taking care of our greenhouse plants. A few years later, I still saw it in the spring peeking up through the shrubs growing high over its extended head to find sunshine. What a resilient plant!

Oops! Missed the whole point of the poem (Emperor Trump) in mind admiration with the flower and spring.
So true, Jane! A Narcissist always displays self-importance who thinks their knowledge supersedes all others like they always know better of everything.
