Narcissim in Writers

The word I came across is 'Narcissim'. All of us are narcissists to some extent. Only the extent differs, and makes a difference to the people around us, as well.

PROMPT

Here is a complex thought for you to decipher. Choose a part of it, if you so desire, and use it as an inspiration to write your piece.

In the immensity of consciousness, a light appears — a tiny point which moves rapidly and traces shapes, thoughts, and feelings, like a pen writing on paper. And the ink which leaves a trace is memory. You are that tiny point and by your movement the world is ever re-created.

What happened?

What happened? Don’t you know? Why would I ask if I knew? What were you thinking when you humiliated me and made me feel guilty in every manner possible.

शायर नहीं हूँ मैं

English translation in Comments section …

hecblogger's avatarPlaying with words

अपने दिल को कलम बनाकर
तेरी यादों की स्याही से
लिखता हूँ मैं कुछ आशार
शायर नहीं हूँ मैं

हो जाए न रुसवाई तेरी
डरता हूँ सब कहने से

तुझसे ही था वज़ूद मेरा
तुझको खोकर अमित
किसका करूँ इंतज़ार
मयस्सर नहीं हूँ मैं
