I’m not a psychiatrist,
so I can’t diagnose you as a narcissist.

But if I were a psychiatrist, 
I’d diagnose you as a narcissist.

About This Poem: Sharp. Minimal. Devastating in its restraint. “I’m Not A Psychiatrist But If I Were…” is a poetic eye-roll dressed in clinical sarcasm—a brilliant snapshot of the gaslit clarity that comes after dealing with a narcissist. It says exactly what it needs to and nothing more. Iconic.
