are they better off than we

are they better off 
than we,
no feeling
towards others,
no angst
at words, or injuries
made,
little or no empathy
for the world.
do they sleep
well,
beneath their narcissistic
cover,
or do they toss and turn
as we do,
sorting out our
days,
before closing our
eyes in
fatigue.
are they better off than
we are,
numb to the world,
to self.
while we bite our nails
and try
to forgive each other
for sins,
committed or
imagined.
