The Tyrant King
Archetype
I am the narcissistic King at the centre of the world.
I must be seen and admired. I am the supreme King.
I lead and rule for power and prestige. I pursue the path of power;
I am the master of power-over and power for myself.
I am the law. I am the source of order. I am the state, the Kingdom.
I have a strong sense of entitlement.
I only serve myself. I love myself, only me. I demand that you love me. I perform for love, attention and praise.
I use love. I pretend to love you as long as you are useful to me and do as I say.
I want you to follow and love me, so you do my bidding, but my loyalty is only to me.

who sit in a room and you can feel it:
the simmer,
the sense of some unpredictable force
that might, at any moment,
break loose,
and do something terrible.”

I am the only voice that needs to be heard.
I talk non-stop. I ramble;

My words create discord, strife and turbulence.
I don't listen.
I don't want your truth.
There is only room for me.
I don't take advice or accept council.
I close my ears to distress and pain around me.
