Crossword Puzzle

When i was told
Neurotics build castles in the sky
psychotics live in them
and psycharitist collect the rent
My investigative nature
concurred that gaslighting was 
The motive to your intent

i see the crossword puzzle 
in words and mannerism
True motives and gestures
Are just pieces in a chess game
Between you and your prey
There is a defender
And an aggressor
In every interaction 
That we as humans 
Are part of

The difference between the winner and loser
Is recognizing when
You are being
Played
