Narcissistic nature

I can't believe that this month is almost over.

Today's challenge is as follows: to write a poem which plays with the myth of Narcissus in some way.


Narcissist

You don't believe your beauty will fade;
You won't remain a gentle flower
beside a peaceful pool

Yet even flowers fade 
No amount of care,
or fake modifications,
can stop them from withering

So shall you wilt,
Succumbing to your 
very nature
