The Subtlety of Projection

you need not look too far
for evidence of projection.
if they are cheating,
then you are the one cheating.
if they are lying,
then it is you
who are lying.
the horrible things they accuse you of
are,
in reality,
the things they themselves are committing.
they will do a masterful job
at painting themselves
as the victims.
be wary of this.
